For what it's worth, these are the Detroit restaurants I miss the most:
Hellas - 583 Monroe - Greek (in Greektown)
313-961-5544
Some of the restaurants in greektown have gone corporate since the casino
opened. This place is an exception.
Los Galanes - 3362 Bagley - Mexican (in Mexicantown)
313-554-4444
Absolute best mexican restaurant in the city, IMHO.
Twingo's - 4710 Cass - French (near Wayne St. U)
313-832-3832
Amazing french onion soup and pasta dishes.
Union Street - 4145 Woodward - American/Cajun (Near CPop)
313-831-3965
Nice selection of beer :)
Lafayette Coney Island - 118 W. Lafayette Blvd.
313-964-8198
The original!
Cheers,
John

> The Scene
> Once a sure destination for soul-food and jazz lovers, sadly, Ja*Da is
now only available for catering. To order Ja*Da's catered service, call
(313) 965-1700.
> The Food
> Ribs, shrimp and catfish that are out of this world. Also, don't miss
the macaroni and cheese, slaw, sweet potatoes, or black-eyed peas. For
dessert: sweet potato pie or bread pudding with Amaretto-soaked cherries
and walnuts, both served warm. Of course, don't dare pass up the ribs, with
Ja*Da sauce that's barely sweet and a glorious off-red. Baked over flavored
chips, they get two spice rubs before the grilling stage.
