Head East

When we can’t decide where to eat, we head straight to the city’s North Side, specifically Wurzbach Road, where we’ll stumble along a variety of cuisines from hot Mediterranean to cool sushi. Head there while hungry.

Pasha Mediterranean Grill
9339 Wurzbach Road, (210) 561-5858, gopasha.com
It’s hard to think of a better starter than Pasha’s hummus, if only because you’ll get to tear up some freshly baked naan.

Next stop? Awesome falafel courtesy of Jerusalem Grill’s second location, now open inside a remodeled IHOP.

Fujiya Japanese Garden

It’s time for some sushi. Lunch specials include bento and sushi boxes — you’ll want to take one of these in while facing the peaceful and lush garden.
