Dance the Night Away at Babaloo International Cafe & Bar

May 12, 2015 by

One Yelp reviewer enthusiastically reports that Katy's Babaloo International Cafe & Bar has a "nice atmosphere, good service, and lots of dancing going on," and that's pretty much the sentiment of most Babaloo regulars. This unique bar, eatery, and dance floor offers the best of all worlds: You can eat and drink, then dance it all off until you're ready for round two.

The tapas-style food menu is appropriately geared towards late-night nibbling and sharing, featuring lots of tasty finger foods like beef sliders, bacon wrapped scallops, egg rolls, and nacho potato skins. Babaloo's drink menu has a solid wine and cocktail selection with a particular emphasis on Latin-style mixed drinks and bottle service for those who wish to make the evening a VIP experience. And depending on the night, you might shimmy around the dance floor to a live Latin band, a hip hop DJ, or all the top 40 hits you love!

China Cottage: Your New Favorite Take-Out Spot in Katy

April 28, 2015 by

Since opening in 2007, China Cottage has been serving a blend of Chinese regional cuisines to happy Katy customers. The restaurant does a brisk lunch business, and its lunch specials are a very good deal, combining an entree dish with rice, crab rangoon, and your choice of soup. Dinner at China Cottage is a more relaxed affair, but not because there are fewer customers; diners just have more time to linger over their meals after the workday is finished. Large portions and reasonable prices mean that it can be easy to over-order and end up with lots of leftovers, but that's not a problem when the food is this good.

The dining room is bright and open, while the service is fast, friendly, and attentive, so dining in is always a pleasure. But sometimes you just need to eat your Chinese food while sitting on your own couch watching a movie. If it's one of those days, China Cottage's take-out service is the answer.

Have Thai Food in Katy, Texas at Thai Spice

January 20, 2015 by

Over the past 20 years, Thai Spice has evolved from a single restaurant into a successful regional chain. Its Katy location is locally known for serving expertly spiced, authentic Thai fare and for providing friendly, consistently efficient service.
