Treehouse Restaurant and Pub
📍 Address: 7 Kings Cir NE, Atlanta
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.5)
As an outdoors fanatic, it is often hard to find a quaint, natural vibe near Buckhead that usually resonates in towns like Helen, North Ga. This Treehouse pub offers an atmosphere like none around: comfy, simple and friendly. And the martinis are the best around- their price on the other hand is steep at about $10. I almost don't want to share this little secret pub, already a popular spot for locals and there is not much room for seating- but it is hands down my favorite bar around. Warning: it is not an actual tree house; the outdoors and adventurous woman was a bit disappointed. Yet the beautifully decorated patio, lined with flower pots, does offer some natural ambiance.
Marco's Pizza

First time having Marco's pizza and I must say I'm impressed!! After reading the reviews I'm glad I used the online feature and order my food for delivery. I live very close to Marco's but was too lazy to leave the house for pick up...lol. I ordered a customized pizza with grilled chic, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, extra cheese and sauce with the Roma crust. DELICIOUS!!! I also got the cheese breadsticks, Greek salad (minus the olives) and the salted caramel brownie. I haven't started on the brownie (saving it for later) and again DELICIOUS!!! I was expecting small portions but there is more than enough food for small order. Actually two people can eat off of a small order. I will just have to save the rest for later as I'm already full. Delivery was quoted at approximately 50 minutes but they were here within 15-20 minutes of my online order. Added bonus was that they take credit cards and I was able to redeem a coupon for $4 off my order...nice. I will definitely order from them again and I will remember to order extra vinaigrette dressing because one packet isn't enough even for the small salad.

Salmon was good. Rice was poor. Service was alright. Too many questions, though. Just feed me, bro.

I have actually never gone there. But I've ordered from it over 50 times in the last 3 months! (foodler account says so). NO MORE GREASY AMERICAN PIZZA! NO MORE THIN CRUST EVER! I have been in a LOOONG journey to find a pizza like the ones I used to eat back in Italy. Oh home, sweet home. I tried every single pizza place around, that is over 40 of them and none until I received their menu in my mail by accident (it was suppose to be my neighbors and oh, so lucky I didn't immediately give it back)! The pizza is orgastic! So many options and RICOTTA! Fantastic riccota and the best Calzone's around! Perfect! I also have tried a variety of things in their menus and everything else is pretty good. Still TRY THEIR PIZZA! I totally recommend it!
Karam Lebanese & Syrian Cuisine

⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)
This was the perfect spot to celebrate my birthday. They prepared us a space for the 15 people that came. Great ambience and decor, and very friendly owners and servers. Good wine selection and a very authentic menu with dishes you won't find elsewhere. They also played a cute happy birthday song and offered us a complimentary desert, and took some photos. Shokran Karam staff!
Madras Pavilion
📍 Address: 9025 Research Blvd, Ste 100, Austin
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.5)
Had the lunch buffet at Madras Pavilion today. I've been several times in the past, but usually for dinner/ordering off the menu ... this was only my second time having their buffet. At first I felt like they were cruising for a 3-star review, as there was no palak paneer on the buffet and they had some mediocre naan out (usually this place serves breads other than naan, so maybe they just aren't experts at making it). But then I fell in love with a broccoli and paneer dish in a creamy yet spicy sauce, and they put out some fresher naan with a slightly better texture. Tried some other curries which were also decent. And when I tried the carrot halwa dessert, I was pleasantly surprised ... I've tried it before at other Indian buffets and found it unappetizing, but this was actually quite good. Left quite full but feeling good. Madras Pavilion, you're still alright with me.
