Jake’s Wayback Burgers: Where Burgers Are Well Done and Done Well

February 26, 2015 by

Jake's Wayback Burgers serves big, juicy, hand-shaped burgers to a happy crowd of loyal regulars, and once you try these burgers you just might become a regular yourself. This is a quick, casual burger joint, but it's got little in common with the greasy fast food places you might be used to.

Bite into a one of Jake's signature "cheesy burgers," each piled high with four slices of cheese, two all-beef patties, and served on a grilled, buttered bun. Add a few slices of bacon or some grilled onions, and add a side of chili cheese fries or beer battered onion rings. Wash it all down with one of Jake's hand-dipped milkshakes. Sip on a traditional chocolate shake, or go gourmet with chocolate mint or cafe mocha. In addition to the standard menu, Jake's offers a new, custom-crafted burger and shake every month, so there's always something new and special to order.

Indian Sizzler: Indian Cuisine in Newark, Delaware

January 29, 2015 by

Indian Sizzler has built a loyal following among Newark locals, and it's easy to understand why. The menu is large and varied, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are large. But most of all, the food is simply delicious.

Start your meal with an order of keema samosa, which are delicately-spiced, meat-filled hand pies, deep fried and served with a sweet dipping sauce. Vegetarians will appreciate the large number of meat-free choices. Saag aloo is a popular potato and spinach-based dish, while navratan korma combines garden fresh vegetables with a spicy cashew and herb sauce. And don't forget to include an order of naan, the clay oven baked bread that is traditionally used as a utensil to scoop rice and sauce from your plate to your mouth.

Dining in is always fun, but an online ordering system also makes it quick and easy to get delivery or take out from Indian Sizzler.

Juliana’s Kitchen: Authentic Peruvian Cuisine

December 22, 2014 by

When you arrive at Juliana's Kitchen you'll realize this Latin American restaurant feels more like a home than a commercial space, and as you step inside you'll see that there are only four or five tables. In other words, dining at Juliana's is an intimate, special experience that mimics being an honored guest in someone's home. Your food will likely be cooked by Juliana herself, and she may even come out of the kitchen to greet and chat with you. Her husband, Edwin, will be happy to explain any of the dishes you're unfamiliar with, and to make suggestions based on your tastes.

Yelp reviewers say the bistec apanado with rice and beans is tender and well seasoned, and seafood lovers recommend the spicy, citrusy ceviche mixto, which combines octopus, fish, mussels, and shrimp. Best of all, portions are generous and prices are reasonable.

Home Grown Cafe: Globally Inspired Local Favorites

November 24, 2014 by

Home Grown Cafe is a local favorite for many Newark residents. This casual eatery serves up a wide array of dishes with diverse global influences.
