Damian’s Cajun Soul Café
185 S. Watson Rd.
(817) 649-7770
Yelp: 4.5 stars – 103 reviews The workweek never tasted so good. You actually have something to look forward to Monday through Friday at Damian’s (which, sadly, isn’t open at nights or on weekends), because the menu changes daily! For seafood étoufée that melts in your mouth, better get there early on Wednesday. Or try Tuesday for gumbo that will knock your socks off. Not feeling seafood? Go on Friday for a spicy and oh-so juicy pork chop. Come to think of it, whatever day it is, head to Damian’s because all the food is amazing here.

Tandoor Indian Restaurant
532 Fielder North Plz.
(817) 261-6604
Yelp: 4 stars – 104 reviews Let’s face it—buffets aren’t exactly newsworthy. Usually, the food has been sitting out too long and the options are limited and mediocre. Not so with Tandoor Indian Restaurant. This is the the you’ve been waiting for. The lunch buffet is hot, very hot. And speaking of hot the chicken tikka masala is all anyone who's tasted it can talk about. But no Indian meal is complete without naan, and at Tandoor its baked fresh from the oven and practically melts in your mouth. Don’t forget the samosas! They are perfect combination of flaky goodness and spicy kick. So, maybe one more trip the buffet...

Rock the Plain Jane doughnut if simple and sweet is your thing or sample the Snow White—a yeast raised doughnut glazed to perfection and covered with shaved coconut.
