Dallas doesn't have many Indian food options inside of the LBJ loop, but fortunately
Roti Grill is one of them and it's pretty darn good.

January 2005
Got a hankerin' for some gator?  After reading our review of
Alligator Cafe (and the uncensored Alligator Cafe (bigger, longer and uncut)) you definitely will!

December 2004
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, we hope that
Cafe Nostra, one of our most favoritest of pizza places in Dallas (and the subject of our first ever review) will rise again from the aftermath of that lower Greenville fire.

Wow, we've reviewed a lot of places (particularly, cafes and grills - what's up with that?)!  Does that qualify us for some kind of award? Cause if it does, let us know. We really like awards!!
Cheers,
Michael & Anthony
Welcome to the official website of The Law ReviewersTM.  We're two lawyers from Dallas, Texas who write restaurant reviews for the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers' monthly newsletter,
The DictaTM.  We wanted to give our faithful readers out there (all two of them) and the rest of cyberspace a way to check out our past reviews and find out more about the Dallas restaurant scene.  We've also started a blog (check out the link below) where we plan to dish on the state of Dallas restaurants (get it?!?) and anything else we feel like writing about.

Coming soon... even more reviews from Michael & Anthony, so look out!

Check out our blog here.  It's blogalicious!
