One of the leading casual dining chains in America right now is Carrabba’s Italian Grill. Founded by two men from Texas who wanted to share the joy of flavorful, inexpensive Italian food with the world, it’s grown rapidly since incorporating in 1986 and now boasts hundreds of locations around the country. The fare is solid and well-prepared.

Start your meal with one of their can’t-miss appetizers – they have a menu of five delectable choices for just five dollars each. The lightly fried zucchini is quite good, as is the bacon and caramelized onion flatbread. For entrees, regulars rave about the chicken Bryan – wood-grilled chicken served with sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, fresh basil and lemon butter. Meats and fish from the grill are a specialty, with sirloin marsala and a hazelnut-breaded tilapia both drawing raves. Their pastas are also good, with the oven-baked manicotti a favorite.

Bombay Tadka serves delicious Indian food in Webster. Stop in for the lunch buffet to sample a variety of Indian cuisine favorites. Plenty of vegetarian options are available. Instead of serving the naan on the buffet, it is brought to your table so it stays soft and fresh. Make sure you try dishes like the Goat Curry, Tikka Masala, and Saag Paneer. Regulars recommend any of the tender and flavorful chicken dishes. The food is always consistently good. Come by at dinner for a la carte ordering full of the same delicious dishes. Meals are very reasonably priced. The lunch buffet is just $10 during the week and $12 on weekends. The wait staff is friendly and attentive.

Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday. They do close for a few hours between lunch and dinner. Bombay Tadka is closed on Monday.
