Lebanese Food with Marsha Marsha and I have been in the same Book Club for 12 years, so we're used to sampling unusual foods... in a not too serious attempt at coordinating with the book's theme. But I don't think we have ever tried Lebanese food! Correct me if I'm wrong, Marsha!  Baklava Cafe was an easy outing choice since it's right on Highway 6 in Sugar Land. It claims to serve European and Middle Eastern Cuisine, but knowing the chefs are Lebanese, using old family recipes, means we had many options for sampling Lebanese foods. 2 points for authenticity and another 2 points for clean and healthy surroundings! I'm afraid 0 points for people watching, though. Too early...and hey, we are in Sugar Land! Big Selection  This photo shows Marsha peering at the fine food selection over the glass. Layla can also be seen walking away. She was a bit camera shy, but was delighted to give us her descriptions of the many dishes. I wish we'd had more time to find out how she is connected to this family owned business. But since she is Lebanese, we were glad to get her opinion on the choices! Busy Guy  In this photo, besides viewing the delicious foods, you can also see the very serious man carrying 2 dishes. I had read in a few reviews to beware of a very grumpy chef behind the glass and I was open and willing for a memorable encounter with this guy. But I say, the guy is just busy and focused! I give him a break on my review by giving him 1 bonus point for attending to his job... getting my food ready! Bread...  Ahhh! And here is the food! Being a bread person, I have selfishly placed the bread nearest the camera, which is nearly blocking the yummy sampler of falafel, kibbi rolls, grape leaves, hummus, tabooli! All were delicious and I give 4 points for food! Good Name  Let us not forget the name of this restaurant! I don't know why I didn't get a photo of the amazing diplay case of desserts! The family who owns this business, started with a pastry shop in Lebanon 100 years ago! I didn't sample the baklava, but took home a variety of mouth watering truffles!
3 points for extending my food experience all the way to my home. Baklava Cafe gets a TOTAL OF 12 POINTS!

The Dining Blog
This is a blog about Dining Adventures. Sometimes, I talk about food. Below, you can read how this started. On July 4th 2011, I set a goal to try 50 culturally diverse restaurants in one year! (I knew that was possible, living in the Houston area) I spent the year pulling in friends and family to join me, on some unusual dining adventures. I met some curious people, tried some scary foods and explored places and cultures I never would have otherwise. Even though I met my goal, I learned too much to end my adventures in dining. I have continued blogging about memorable dining adventures of all kinds, near and far... and all the discoveries and funny things I've learned along the way! Locations and types of dining adventures, are listed further down. Archives
