Restaurants London - Maroush

There a couple of Lebanese restaurants by the same owner in London. I mainly know the one in Edgware Road, which I quite like.

The dish I always take is Shish Taouk which is charcoal-grilled skewers of marinated chicken cubes served with a delicious garlic sauce. The cost os most main courses are around 12.95 GBP, which is surely not only the cheap side, but I believe worth it.

The food comes and fast and the service is very quick. So perhaps not a place for a romantic dinner, but rather a more elegant fast food place.

Restaurants in Chicago -Chipotle (my guilty pleasure)

This is a Mexican fast food chain. One would think that since I have tried a ton of authentic food from Mexico, that perhaps I would not like this fast food. But I think some Mexican's would agree - it is a great, healthy choice for comfort food.

It is the best fast food chain I know. Fresh ingredients and quick. I love the salad (with beans, tomato, sour cream, cheese and if you want guacamole) there.

It is around $8 per person.

Restaurants San Francisco - Lori's Diner Ghirardelli

If you are looking for simple burgers with a nice view, this is the place to visit.
