Three Brothers Restaurant

After a long day of cleaning up my condo I was ready for a good meal. I heard about 3 brothers restaurant from my friend and also I saw the restaurant featured on Food TV so I decided to make a reservation there. The restaurant is a neighborhood restaurant (suggesting cheap food but not too good décor) which serves "home style" cooking (meaning lots of gravy with stuff).

The soft drink tasted funny as well as my ice tea.
The Lamb dish is below. It was really good. The slow cooked meat shredded apart easily. I took pleasure in sucking out the marrow, which I haven't eaten for a long time. On top the lap was a tomato-sort of chutney and served with it was sour cabbage (not my favorite thing) and rice and carrots. It was quite good, and not too many places do lamb well. I do think I prefer my lamb in a stew-like white sauce, with vegetables. My mom used to make it that way.

The Gulash was good. Nothing sophisticated in the gravy sauce as it was the regular concoction of garlic, onions, bay leaf, etc. Nevertheless it was tasty. It was quite plainly served with two dumplings. I didn’t grow up on dumpling so to me dumplings are tasteless, and have the consistency of cooked dough. I would have preferred two scoops of white rice (medium grain).

One nice touch was the cook came out to greet people and ask how their meal was. Not too many restaurants do that.



















Probably the best thing that night was dessert. Nice warm crepes, just sweet enough with melted Nutella followed by a sip of coffee to cut the sweetness, but not too bitter. Yummy! I would go back for that.
