Golden Spoons Review: Pani Indian Kitchen
(CNS Foodie): East Indian cuisine has been something of a hidden gem here in Cayman. For the last few years, options have been limited to the one establishment on West Bay Road (see Golden Spoons review of Southern Spice) or the offerings from one of the many restaurants across the island taking advantage of Indian (many from Goa) kitchen staff. But finally someone has rolled the dice on a new, dedicated East Indian menu and the result is a dynamic […]

Golden Spoons Review: China Village
(CNS Foodie): Spoiler alert: I love Chinese food of all styles and regions. However, I admit to being less than enthusiastic about the authenticity and quality of the fare being served at Chinese restaurants in Cayman. Still, it was with some excitement and cautious optimism that I brought some companions with me on a recent Sunday to sample the dim sum on offer at China Village, in Plaza Venezia. Translated as “touch the heart”, to me the tasty morsels are […]
(CNS Foodie): It was a weekday evening and I overheard that a new steakhouse, Yara (“place” in Taino), was opening its doors and I had to go check it out.
