As the weekend approaches, finding the perfect dining spot can make all the difference in your experience. Eater editors offer some tried-and-true recommendations for delightful meals across Las Vegas.
For those craving homestyle Italian fare, look no further than Chicago Joe’s. This family-owned gem has been a staple since 1975 and transports diners to a space reminiscent of a warm family’s embrace, much like visiting grandma’s home.
Chicago Joe’s origins trace back to the mother and grandmother of founder Joe Collura, who moved from Sicily to Chicago, and eventually to Las Vegas. The menu is a celebration of old-world cooking, drawing in locals for its warm ambiance and comforting dishes.
Upon entering, diners are welcomed with warm bread, a prelude to the culinary delights to follow. The restaurant excels in traditional dishes, especially those drenched in a rich red sauce. Notable recommendations include the hearty meat lasagna, which features robust Italian sausage, and the eggplant Parmesan, which maintains its delightful crunch even with its generous layers of sauce and cheese.
Moving on to a more casual dining option, Miznon, located at The Venetian Resort, offers scrumptious pita pockets for those on the go. Chef Eyal Shani, known for his extravagant HaSalon restaurant nearby, presents a new dimension of his culinary talent through this more accessible food stall.
Miznon’s menu whimsically describes each pita sandwich, bringing a fun twist to the dining experience. One standout option is the mushroom pita, claiming to encapsulate “a whole forest burned on hot steel,” filled with grilled shiitake, portobello, and oyster mushrooms, complemented by a spicy sour cream sauce and roasted vegetables.
Another must-try is the rib-eye minute steak pita, generously topped with tahini and tomato salsa, providing a hearty yet portable meal. To elevate your experience, pair your pita with the surprisingly addictive cold and crunchy green beans, dressed simply with olive oil, lemon, salt, and garlic.
For those looking for a unique spin on Indian cuisine, Tamba in Town Square is a newly opened restaurant worth the visit. This establishment artfully merges Indian cooking with Japanese influences in a stylishly designed space with cozy rounded furnishings and attentive service.
The cocktail and mocktail menus are especially intriguing, incorporating rich flavors from traditional mango lassi and chai to create refreshing beverages that complement the vibrant dishes.
Begin your meal with the flavorful samosa chaat. This dish features two crispy samosas filled with spiced potatoes and green peas, served in a savory curried chickpea bath, topped with swirls of chutney and sweet pomegranate arils.
Tamba’s kitchen stands out due to its use of a josper, enhancing dishes like octopus that gets a beautifully caramelized sear whilst maintaining a tender inside. Each plate is a work of art, elegantly assembled with colorful ingredients, including fennel, watermelon radish, and dollops of yuzu lime aioli and eel sauce, all resting on a spread of warm cauliflower puree.
These three dining spots, whether for hearty Italian, quick pita sandwiches, or unique Indian cuisine, promise to deliver delicious meals and a memorable dining experience.
Plan your weekend dining adventure and savor the flavors that await you in Las Vegas.
