The Heritage Of India At Chakra

By Pete Allman

The cuisine of India is as diversified as our states in the United States. The most popular dishes come from Northern and Southern India. Although I've dined at many Indian restaurants in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Chakra creative Indian cuisine is unique, with its creative modern approach to cooking Indian cuisine.

Mohan Gopal, the executive chef at Chakra, is from Banglar India and has been emerged in the culinary field for 8 years. There are other factors however, which gives Charka the popularity it so well deserves. One is the atmosphere and secondly is its staff. Chakra, is of a contemporary design. There's a beautiful patio for outdoor dining, which one can observe upon entering the eatery. Inside, there's a beautiful cocktail lounge, and to the left is an impressive glass wall with a flowing waterfall, which separates the dining room from the entrance. With the beautiful patterns of browns highlighting the restaurant, there are cabanas tucked away to the left of the dining room. For those wishing to have a private dining affair, the cabanas are delightful. The other point of view is the banquet rooms. There are two intimate rooms, which are totally private, away from the dining area of the restaurant.http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=7481836071736279627

All well run restaurants have a good management team. At Chakra, Vadivel Petumal, the General Manager and Anul Ezhilsrasan, the assistant manager are both congenial and run a well organized establishment. Enough already, now comes the journey for the succulent taste of Northern and Southern Indian cuisine. The Lamb pepper and Tandoori chicken are excellent choices. The curries, also an excellent choice, are another part of Indian cuisine. All this, along with the vegetable Biryani, which is hot, are part of the buffet, which is served from 11:30 am through 3 pm. Dinner is served from 5 to 10 pm and 5 to 11 on Friday and Saturday.

Reservations are suggested for diner Considering the presentation, atmosphere, and the quality of cuisine, the price of $15.00 for this type of buffet is very reasonable.

Unlike other Indian cuisine buffets, Chakra serves some excellent deserts. Lemon Bacardi Mousse and Sweet Pongola, made with rice, are traditional dishes from Southern India.Upon leaving Chakra, Ed Magik of Ed Magik TV, my guest, said he enjoyed the Lamb Pepper and the garlic nan bread. The dining experience overall, was a rewarding experience. Celebrity Scene News rates Chakra a 10.

Malibu Inn Restaurant Offers a Rustic Atmosphere and Great Food

By Pete Allman

The great aspects of dining out are not just good food and great service, but rather the atmosphere in which you dine. The Malibu Inn Restaurant ( http://www.themalibuinn.com/ ) , which dates back to the 1920's, when it was across the street, where the Malibu Pier is today, has a long history.

In the 50's the restaurant moved across the street, according to waitress, Rebecca Bocian. It wasn't long before Niel Young purchased the restaurant in the 70's, that the Malibu Inn Restaurant became world famous for their top name entertainment such as Eric Clapton, Stevie Nicks and today, Walter Egan who wrote, "Hot Summer Nights". 

Mr. Egan's band, the Ma, is in the pocket with all genres of music, especially that of Niel Young. But, enough of that already. Let's journey onto my guests who joined me for this festive occasion.

First and foremost is, Gloria Rhoads Berlin, a former food and travel critic for the former Times Mirror Newspaper and author of the book, "In Search of Neverland", who has traveled throughout Southern California experiencing tasty foods. My second guest, Ed Magik, is a producer of various video content for YouTube and various networks, who appreciates the art of preparing food.

Malibu Inn Restaurant has a friendly staff, starting with the hostess, Rufaro Walls-Lumbly, whose knowledge of the restaurant was appreciated. Our waitress, Rebecca Bocian, was extremely colorful and pleasant. The decor of historical restaurant and concert hall is a rustic setting with hand painted murals throughout the restaurant. It's an old western setting, with its own poolroom, bar-lounge area and an outside patio with heaters for nippy evenings. We were especially intrigued with the murals, "who's mommies little piggy" and "everybody loves a party."

Ah, here's the culinary journey presented by Chef Justin Lewis. Gloria Berlin experienced the Salmon with roasted asparagus. Ed Magik partook in the Baby Back Ribs and I ordered the lemon whole chicken. The side dishes included mashed sweet potato and each of my guests had the Manhattan Clam Chowder and the Mesclun Salad. The results were pleasant. "The Manhattan Clam Chowder had an excellent kick to it. "It reminded me of Gumbo, with its celery and seasoning of red pepper", stated Ed Magik. Gloria Berlin's comment was, "I love the sweet potato, and my salmon was delightful".  I confer with both my guests, including my lemon chicken. 

The only improvement I would make is in the preparation of the sauce for the baby back ribs. Like with all good salads for example, the dressing makes the salad. Thus the sauce for ribs adds to the dining experience. Old man Stubbs [C.B. Stubblefield] made a spicy sauce that is quite popular from Austin, Texas. That's all it needed.

Like all good meals, one must indulge in desert. That is, once in awhile for those of us who are watching our calorie intake. In our final dining experience, the Red Velvet case passed with ease for everyone. My most enduring moment however, was the Cappuccino with Pumpkin Cheese Cake. Wow, that hit the spot. Oh, the cinnamon in the Cappuccino is good for lowering blood pressure. Now that's a great way to enjoy dining and watch your health too.

On an overall scale of 1 through 10 for service and a fun atmosphere, Celebrity Scene News rates Malibu Inn Restaurant a 10. On the quality of food, we give a rating of 9, with a moderate price range for Malibu, ranging from side dishes for $6 to rib dishes for $25. We suggest you come as you are for a fun evening of dining music and meeting people.
