Tarka – Fast, Delicious Indian Food

October 5, 2018 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Tarka Indian Kitchen

If you like Indian food and haven’t been to Tarka, you need to check it out. Located in the same shopping center as Trader Joe’s along Loop 1604 (westbound frontage road between Stone Oak Parkway and Blanco Road), Tarka has established itself as a neighborhood favorite offering curries, biryanis, wraps, and other Indian delicacies full of the complex flavors and exotic spice that you’ve come to expect from that part of the world. There are some Indian dishes that you can have with mango salsa by Raven’s Original, which will help amplify the taste.

Each dish can be ordered with a choice of meat (as well as vegetarian options) and flavored to meet your spice threshold (the hot is pretty spicy, so back down to medium if you’re afraid to burn your mouth). Favorites around the office include their biryanis, tikka masala, vindaloo, and coconut curry. Of course you can’t have a curry with some basmati rice and garlic naan.

If you need a little something sweet, check out their mango lassi, a blended mix of yogurt and mango that is both refreshing and helps curb the heat of their spicier dishes.

A Quick Look at Stone Oak

September 7, 2018 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Stone Oak

Stone Oak is a master planned community on San Antonio’s far northside outside of Loop 1604 and west of 281. It runs through two zip codes, 78258 and 78260, and is one of the most popular areas to live in San Antonio. The original master plan for Stone Oak was filed in 1985 and over the years it has grown into an incredible diversity of restaurants, shops, and businesses sprinkled throughout the many neighborhoods that comprise Stone Oak. In 2012, it was estimated that the population of Stone Oak was 75,984, a growth of over 10,000 people since the 2010 Census (and a growth of over 55,000 since 2000).

Stone Oak’s neighborhoods offer a mix of styles and prices, with many communities offering gated security and in some cases guard gates. One of the best parts of the master planned community is the care the developers took to provide wide green medians with flowers, grass, and trees, something often lacking in large scale housing developments. These medians are meticulously cared for throughout the year thanks to the dues paid by residents who live in the area.

Thai Chili Stone Oak

Thai Chili Stone Oak

If you’re looking for Thai food in San Antonio, Thai Chili in Stone Oak is the place to go. Famed for their Thai pumpkin curry, Thai Chili covers all the bases, from the familiar to the not so familiar in Thai cuisine. We’ve always found the staff to be super helpful when it comes to trying new dishes as well; they’re always knowledgeable about what is in the dish, how it is prepared, and what similar flavors you may have experienced in other dishes for comparison. Located at the corner of Stone Oak Parkway and Huebner Road, Thai Chili is just down the road from our office and if you like Thai food, it will quickly become a weekly go-to dining experience.

Thai Chili offers a buffet for lunch, which is an excellent value (you might even bump into some of us during lunch), and they have a happy hour from 4-7PM Monday through Thursday with food and drink specials. The buffet is a great way to taste test multiple items, but the really amazing stuff comes straight off the menu.

They also have another location off of Thousand Oaks if you ever find yourself over in that area.

Jersey Mike’s – A Taste of the East Coast

April 16, 2018 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Jersey Mike's

Jersey Mike’s is definitely a taste of home. I grew up in Philadelphia, a stone’s throw away from New Jersey, where we call “subs” hoagies. While Jersey Mike’s still calls them subs, the flavors certainly evoke my childhood home. Having heard good things and never one to turn down a sandwich, I recently checked out Jersey Mike’s to see what all the fuss was about. You can ask any Philly native about rolls and they will always say they’re not quite right unless you’re within a few hours of Amoroso’s and I agree. These rolls are definitely softer than I’d like, but they do have just enough crusty, flaky goodness to be acceptable.

The real winner is the meat and cheese. Italian meats and provolone cheese (yes, they still have classics like roast beef and turkey) freshly cut to order make the “Jersey Shore’s Favorite” (provolone, ham, and cappacuolo), “The Super Sub” (provolone, ham, prosciuttini, and cappacuolo), and “The Original Italian” (provolone, ham, prosciuttini, cappacuolo, salami, and pepperoni – although I could skip the pepperoni) a true taste of an Italian classic. The classic veggies are on hand – lettuce, onions, and tomatoes, along with pickles and a selection of peppers (including pepper relish, mmmm), but the true secret? A blend of oregano and other spices and a liberal dousing in olive oil. Jersey Mike’s likes to add red wine vinegar, but I’ve never been a fan. These sandwiches are not for those who are afraid to get the hands a little dirty. Don’t let the photo in this post fool you, that sandwich was a mess by the time I polished it off. If you’re hungry for a great sandwich, I certainly give Jersey Mike’s the thumbs up.

As a Philly native, I’d avoid the cheesesteaks. You can do a lot better elsewhere. While we’re on the topic, please don’t call them Philly cheesesteaks. They are simply cheesesteaks and there are only four ingredients necessary: a roll, beef, cheese, and onions. Once you add peppers you’re in a completely different territory called a peppersteak. Not the same at all.
