u/Briguy1994 made this list last year and it seems pretty comprehensive

Cool!! I notice it is heavily skewed towards certain parts of CT. Any recs for eastern CT that are missing from the list?

BouncyMouse OP t1_j5diixr wrote

Yup, I live in Eastern CT too. Not a ton out this way. Maharaja in Mansfield is really good though!

Oh man you’re missing out if you’re not going to Wing Express in Storrs. Indian and Buffalo wings. Both are excellent.

I know it exists, but unfortunately I’m just not a big wing person :(

It’s not wings. Well it is, but they do traditional wings and separate traditional Indian food. Just don’t order wings. The Indian food is incredible

Oh okay, good to know! I’ll check it out!

My Indian (and very particular) wife says this is her favorite Indian food in the state and we’ve eaten at pretty much every Indian restaurant outside of the panhandle

Definitely a ringing endorsement then! Awesome 🤩

Oh awesome, thank you!!! We have a LOT of regional cuisine out here, not sure why we’re so underrepresented on that list.

Such a good question. You never know if it’s American fusion or tastes like back home. Interested to read comments

ITT: people ignoring the thread title and just posting their favorite ethnic restaurants.

The only place in the entire state that serves food from my home country is my kitchen, but Mama Chow is a relatively ok approximation. Zul Cafe for a decent rendition of another country that I'd lived in for a while.

Brazil Grill in a Hartford is authentic Brazilian food and absolutely excellent. Check it out if you like fresh meats of all sorts.

Really good but so expensive

CryBabyEater t1_j5eu2my wrote

Agreed it is expensive. They weigh your plate and charge you based on the weight. It’s a little bizarre.

The only ones I can think of are

  • Kayumangi in Wallingford
  • Middletown Market in Middletown
  • Tindahan City in Berlin

There's Zul Cafe and Grill in Norwalk but I haven't tried that one.

Zul is better than Kayumangi and Tindahan. Haven't tried Middletown Market.

In Torrington:

Las Delicias Latina is about the most authentic no frills Mexican you're going to get in Connecticut.

Geppetto ~ Osteria e Bisteccheria is a fantastic new Italian place that is more modern Italian fare.

Chez Ben in Manchester. Better poutines than back home.

BouncyMouse OP t1_j5f79kp wrote

Okay this is like the third time I’ve had someone recommend Chez Ben’s poutine. I’ve never had it and I want some SO BADLY. Guess I know where I’m going!
