“? Lasooni Wings - These were fantastic. Garlicy, full of spice, and very lowkey spicy with a gentle sweetness in the background, while the flavour of the chili (oil?) is the more major flavor with the garlic coming in after. It's just a slight tingle of spicy. Very tender and moist.?Garlic Naan - gentle garlic taste, and very gentle doughy background. These were good.?Chicken Tikia Masala - complex creamy savory spiced flavour throughout. Very gentle hint of sweetness and sourness. The chicken within is breast meat, cooked perfectly so it's not dry. We got the mild spice level, this was also fantastic.?Mango Lassi - I loved it. Not too sweet, creamy, light mango flavour throughout the background.?Overall, each time I've gone here, I've had a great meal.“

“Hand to heart — one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had! Got a tip from a local on the plane to try this and they didn’t mislead. Partners with a local ale house, which was also good. The Parmesan crisp around the edges of the crust made this next level good. Don’t let the thick crust fool you! It’s so light and crispy. We’ll visit every trip to the area.“

“We have been customers of Bantam pretty much since it opened. It is our favorite restaurant in Santa Cruz. The menu changes daily so it is hard to pick specific dishes - except for their fried chicken which is gf, made with rice flour and is the best I know of gf or otherwise. It is usually on the menu, but check the website to be sure. Most other dishes are also gf and the staff will definitely tell you.“

“Hands down the best fast slice pizza in Santa Cruz. And at the right price too. The slices are massive, delicious, and I don't know how they're able to get the dough simultaneously so fluffy yet crunchy every bit of the way?! Ever since the ownership change, this place just keeps getting better and better. Lovely staff, and a great place to either sit and munch a slice or take to go. Skip pizza my heart and check these folks out.“

“What I best admired about Mountain Mike's Pizza is that it's where the video game room is located. It had one video arcade game machine that had all of these classic 1980s video games. Ones that aren't rated mature. Ones that have nothing to do with the Marvel and DC Comic book heroes.Dietary restrictions: This place doesn't serve sugarless desserts. This place has to serve salt/sodium free salad dressings. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?“
