Almost everything at Rodo's is homemade . . . either on the premises or at the home of owners Khalil and Zizi Abbadi or her mother, Attiat "Tutu" Shehata. Rodo's is a very clean opera- tion . . . with taboolee salad (vegetables with cracked wheat,) vegetarian plate of mixed vegetables baked in vegetable oil, eggplant, zuc- chini, celery, potatoes, onions, green peppers, carrots, green beans and cauliflower is a big favorite. There are six types of chic- ken preparations at Rodo's .. . chicken breasts sauteed or broiled, 1/2 chicken broiled, baked or barbecue, and chic- ken kebob . . . all from fresh chickens . . . not frozen. There's white fish, scrod, orange roughy, small lake perch, sea bass and shrimp. Rodo's makes its own pita bread . . . and own desserts. by Zizi and "Tutu" . . . rice pud- ding with peaches, baklava, cream caramel from egg whites, cakes and pies. I recently had the great favo- rite of sauteed chicken breasts with fresh cooked vegetables . . . and went away very satis- fied with the fresh goodness it offers. Waitresses like Cheryl MacFarlin and Narges Sakla are efficient, courteous and smilingly personable. Since Rodo's changed owner- ship, the result has been little short of miraculously marvel- ous . Although the prices remain low, it is no longer just a mediocre restaurant in some strip shopping center . . . Rodo's is freshness, cleanliness and goodness rolled up into one very nice package enjoyed by more and more people each day. NON-ALCOHOLIC beers now taste almost like the real thing . . . At Armando's, Or- chard Lake Rd. between 12 and 13 Mile, imported Barbican is a big favorite . . . Ginopolis', 12 Mile and Middlebelt, sells a doozy amount of imported Guiness that so many of the ballplayers who hang around there like to drink. For clarification sake, by the way, the Ginopolis' sold by Johnny and Pete was in Greek- town . . . not the beautiful locale on 12 Mile and Middlebelt. Pete Peponis, new manager at Ginopolis' with Ernie Palumbo, at one time worked with Johnny at Topper's in Dearborn . . . Pete was barten- der while Johnny a busboy .. . When Pete left for service, Johnny took over as bartender, and Molly Abraham, then a Detroit News restaurant re- viewer, called him number one in the city. NICKI'S TAVERNA that opened in November of last year on Beaubian at Lafayette in Greektown is a second floor standout that retains the charm and character beauty of turn-of-the-century Boyddell Bldg . . . Rough timbers, 90- year old red brick and enhancement of Mediterra- nean tile, Grecian urns and live plants. It is the former original site of Dodge Machine Shop (Dodge Bros. Engineering) from 1907 to 1919 . . . Same wood, same steel beams where pulleys used to do their daily chores. Two hundred fifty are seated upstairs in the charming res- taurant with its full Greek menu . . . Same windows as Dodge Machine Shop . . . now looking out at the Blue Cross/ Blue Shield Bldg. Downstairs is Nicki's Pizza with 200 seats . . . Two more operations downtown also have same full bar and carry- out of Niki's already- becoming-famous pizza. The small chain is named after Dennis Kalfalonos' mother, Niki, who still over- sees the kitchen at his full- service restaurant . . . hidden- behind a wall and waitress counter where more Mediter- ranean tile and brass rails are seen. Also named after her are the four Greek salad dressings manufactured by Nikki's . . . It is only one of two in the nation manufacturing authenic Greek dressing . . . Other one is in Massachusetts. We had lunch there recently . . . very pleasant, tasteful and nostalgic . . . Dennis Horwatt enjoyed shrimp creole and I had a beautiful piece of white fish . . . The portions are large and prices low. IT'S A NEW EXPERI- ENCE for Taj Mahal Northern Indian restaurant that made so many friends while on 12 Mile Road in Berkley for 11 years . . . Only 50 seats then . . . and parking in back for just 10 cars . . . Now that Taj Mahal has moved, there are 80 seats .. . and enough parking for the entire former block or two in Berkley . . . The new Taj Mahal has opened on Southfield and 12 1/2 Mile Road in Southfield Plaza . . . at site behind Big Boy . . . where previous Hello Deli used to be.
