Andrew,
So clad you asked!!! I did order the so called calzone at cafe pestos and I would compare it to a hot pocket from the freezer section at your local grocery.It was the first thing in my entire life I ever sent back to the kitchen and I've never eaten there again.The calzones on the East Coast have about 2 cups (maybe more)of steamy hot creamy ricotta cheese,mozzarella and ham baked in a sweet yeasty pizza dough thats crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside and then you dip it in pizza sauce. ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO TORTURE ME!! LOL
The stuff they call pizza dough around here is like a refrigerated biscuit yucko.
Anyway the calzone incident was so disappointing I'm afraid to try the Indian place and I heard it was not that good.I tried the Indian food a lady was selling at Makuu market but it had no taste like she did not know it was susposed to have spices in it.Anyway I've gotten quite adept at making my own ethnic favorites but its just not the same when you make it yourself.When I go out I just stick with the thai food (Nings) but even that is hit or miss lately like they have a new cook or something.
