Tandoor House of Kabob serves delicious and authentic flavors of Middle East
Tandoor House of Kabob in Parkville delicious and authentic flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine with organic and halal meats and made to order Naan in the tandoor. The dishes are flavored with spices from Iran, such as sumac, saffron and barberry.
The menu maybe small but it is packed with flavor. The gyro is the biggest I have seen and is freshly sliced lamb from the skewer. Then served with lettuce, tomato, onion and a traditional yogurt sauce wrapped on a warm pita from the tandoor for $6.99. I usually can make two meals from this gyro.
If you in the mood for kabobs you can pick from beef, chicken, shisk and lamb – or even go for a combo of meats (ranging from $12.99 - $14.99). All of the entrees are served with our Persian Soltani rice, cooked using onion juice to aid in digestion.
A great side dish to try is the shirazi made from chopped cucumber, tomato, fresh herbs and onion, served with house dressing for $2.99.
They also offer traditional baklava and other Middle Eastern deserts to round out your meal.
Every time I have been the service is friendly and on point. You can dine in or carry out – dining in offers BYOB with no corkage fees.
Since this is so close to our house it has become a favorite carry out for us!
They are expanding and opening a second location in the Federal Hill area.

Hamilton Bakery offers great neighborhood treats
There is a new bakery in town in the Hamilton neighborhood called Hamilton Bakery. Their goal is to provide the highest quality baked goods using quality ingredients from local sources and organic flours and sugars. They use no preservatives, dyes or artificial extenders in their products (real butter, eggs, vanilla and other all natural ingredients).
Every time I have walked in I have been greeted with a warm hello and smile not just the wonderful aromas of all the delightful goods! The menu offers fresh baked bread, pastries, cakes, cookies and quiche. Menu items change with the seasons.
Of all the items I have tried my top two favorites are their Strawberry Shortcake and the Lemon Bars. Both of these treats are from my childhood – each now only was super tasty but brought back some great memories with each bite!
Right now the menu is host to some great fall items: cranberry/pecan/orange scones, pumpkin pie, or a butternut squash/apple danish.
Hamilton Bakery was ranked #2 on the list of the Top 10 Cupcakes in Baltimore for 2011 by Baltimore Magazine!
Feel free to order a hot or cold drink and enjoy a delectable treat! The location of this establishment is bad for my diet since it’s in the neighborhood of the school I teach at!

Chef Anne Burrell is coming to Baltimore plus enter to win her new cookbook
Come meet Anne Burrell, chef and author of "Cook Like A Rock Star: 125 Recipes, Lessons and Culinary Secrets” at Wegman’s in Hunt Valley on Friday, October 7 from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Reserve your place in line by getting a ticket to attend at any That's The Ticket located at the Service Desk. Space is limited.)
Anne Burrell believes that food is essential to happiness. She makes this outlook abundantly clear on her Food Network show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef (in its seventh season) and as co-host of the primetime hit Worst Cooks in America (in its second season). While Anne is a professional by training and pedigree, the food she makes isn’t elitist; it’s spirited and infused with the bold flavors and passion that are her signature—or, as she likes to say, food that includes the “sparkle factor.” In Cook Like a Rock Star, her debut cookbook, Anne will give home cooks the confidence and support they need to be rock stars in their own kitchens and to create food inspired by Anne’s life in professional kitchens. Best of all, these 125 restaurant-quality recipes are designed for home cooks, from beginners to experts. Each recipe is broken down into key parts to make the process of learning and doing as simple as possible—the way Anne herself does it—and will include easy-to-find ingredients and tips on skills and prepping techniques.
Cook Like a Rock Star features the same forthright approach and constant reassurance that Anne is known for on her shows and will be a complete package with Anne’s spunky personality, handwritten notes, and vibrant photographs to inspire and entice you. Whether she's telling us how to use garlic most effectively (“perfume the oil, remove the garlic, and ditch it—it’s fulfilled its garlic destiny!”) or reaffirming the most important part of cooking (“at the end of the day the food should taste good!”), the reader will never feel alone at the stove. In Cook Like a Rock Star, Anne’s effervescent personality and unmatched vitality will be there every step of the way—as teacher, coach, cooking partner, and friend.
