I have <a href="http://www.kclunchspots.com/2008/07/bella-napoli-6229-brookside-blvd.html" rel="nofollow">posted about Bella Napoli</a> in the past and when I lived near Brookside, it became a regular weekend carryout lunch for me. Good stuff.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kclunchspots.com/2007/11/cancun-fiesta-fresh-4019-pennsylvania.html" rel="nofollow">Cancun Fiesta Fresh</a> is a favorite too. I'm glad they have stuck around at another of those seemingly doomed restaurant locations. <br /><br />Flavors of India is a great buffet. I like them better than India Palace but haven't posted about it yet. Papu's and the Moroccan place (Marrakech Cafe) are on my radar. Marrakech is always depressingly empty so I should probably get there soon.The DLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804981463092544712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889765136853809643.post-24222203938272168572010-12-30T11:23:58.079-06:002010-12-30T11:23:58.079-06:00If you haven't already, you gotta go to Bella ...If you haven't already, you gotta go to Bella Napoli in Brookside. They have great Italian deli sandwiches, and the attached sit-down restaurant, La Cocina di Mamma, has excellent pastas. I could eat there every day. Good coffee shop, too.<br /><br />I'm sure you've heard plenty about Papu's in the Shell station in Waldo. I can confirm that it's great.<br /><br />I've heard great things about Flavor of India, which is out in OP/Lenexa on 87th.<br /><br />I'm curious about the newish Moroccan place just south of Broadway Cafe in Westport. Can't remember the name offhand. That spot has been cursed in recent years.<br /><br />Another favorite place is Cancun Fiesta Fresh (in Westport), which, in addition to having the greatest name ever and lighted palm trees on the patio, has great food.

I've been going there since last summer and it's good. The tamales are excellent, they have yellow corn regular tamales (get two) and large white veracruz style tamales in a banana wrapper, some herb in there is compellingly good though the tamale texture is more gelatinous than the corn style I'm used to. The tortas are excellent, I love the carnitas myself. (Well, pork fried in lard, what's not to like?) And they have ice cream! It's totally a lunch-type place, order at the counter, quick service. Sometimes the counter help does not speak english, but I always manage to get what I want. I think you would like it, though I guess it is a ways away from your stomping ground.<br /><br />I love your blog! <br />-TeagueAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796972006115948923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889765136853809643.post-12532765584306636472009-10-05T08:57:09.476-05:002009-10-05T08:57:09.476-05:00Why Alex, of course I want to blog about how terri...Why Alex, of course I want to blog about how terrible it is.

Have you...I just discovered your blog and love it! Have you ever tried Lutfi's Fried Fish. Right now it looks as though it's at the old Landing.<br /><br />In the past 10 year's I think they've been up and down Troost and Prostpect. I remember hearing someone mention it on the Bodinie show and at that time I was working at 63rd and Rockhill. I shot over there and found a classic hole-in-the-wall, slapped together with Home Depot supplies. THe fish was good, though not especially as cheap as the surroundings would suggest. I changed jobs and ended-up on 47th and Rainbow and went looking for them again and found them at 80-something and Prospect. Now they had the fancy stuff: tables and chairs and a counter to order and pay. <br /><br />Now I work in Overland Park and a trip to the Landing is a stretch at lunchtime. If you check it out and it's as good as it always has been, damn the clock! I'll get right over.Andrew Wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643514253947427876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889765136853809643.post-61573737597938224332009-08-12T19:38:23.601-05:002009-08-12T19:38:23.601-05:00DonMarko, thanks.
