BEST BET of the weekend

Men's Club, tomorrow night,
8:30 . . . $12.50 per person in-
cludes country dance instruc-
tions plus food and drinks.
A RESTAURANT first
and nitery second is the way
General Manager Benny Ge-
wargis describes the new
Paradise of Southfield that
opened Dec. 3.
It's the former Dimitri's of
Southfield location
downstairs on Southfield
Road, just north of 10 Mile .. .
with a wide-open look that
many folks will recall is what
should have been done to the
place before.
Now it really looks like
something . . . seating 275 or
more with the center wall
completely removed to show a
large dance floor and or-
chestra stage in the center .. .
so very ideal for parties, too.
Dancing and rhythmic bel-
ly movement entertainment
is Thursday through Sunday
at Paradise of Southfield,
open seven days . . . But as
Benny says, it is secondary to
the food with a full Mid-
eastern and international
(French, American, etc.)
menu.
The refreshing look has col-
orful neon tubing all around
in a most festive atmosphere
as lights in planters blink
softly.
Hard to believe this is the
same former Dimitri's of
Southfield, converted into an
excellent, airy look with mir-
rored walls, booths where a
former bandstand stood when
Dimitri Syros tried, among
other things, to make a nitery
out of his previous Greek
restaurant.
Owners Sam Arabo qand
Jerry Jamil plucked Benny as
their general manager
because of his vast experience
in the restaurant field . . . He
was manager at Southfield
Manor and is knowledgeable
enough to hold regular train-
ing meetings with his
waitstaff.
Just looking around brings
a shake of the head . . . In-
genuity can do wonderful
things . . . Paradise of
Southfield is a prime
example.
REASON FOR Ramone's
Cafe closing at Sunset Strip
on Northwestern Highway
was far from being a lack of
customers.
Owner Hassan "Ramone"
Awarsaji had borrowed money
to do some work at the
restaurant . . . The lender
wanted his money and sued
. . . Ramone decided to close.

Biggest losers are Ramone's
customers . . . But he has too
much talent not to emerge
again . . . In the meantime,
Ramone is doing catering .. .
Folks who've wondered where
he went can reach him at
354-6517.
HE HAS A LOT of heavy
romance going on but his wife
since only Aug. 14 isn't
jealous . . . even though it's
with many.
Tony Mar opened his new
Jade Palace on Dec. 9, on 10
Mile and Coolidge in the
Parkwood Plaza, Oak Park,
and struck up a communal
love affair with folks who en-
joy coming back.
They like the fact that no
MSG is ever used at the
80-seater Jade Palace and the
portions are above average to
go with a low pricing concen-
tration of his Cantonese,
Szechuan and Mandarin food.
This is a simple but clean
little place that many are fin-
ding well worth the visit .. .
Tony is modest about his ex-
perience, however, talent is
something that can't be hid-
den . . . He helped a friend
open the Golden Dragon in
Grosse Pointe Farms and ran
the kitchen before opening
his own place in Oak Park
with newlywed wife Alice,
who works by his side as do
other close members of the
family.
Tony doesn't look that old,
but over 20 years ago, he was
bartender and maitre d' at
the popular former Ming
Palace in Northland . . . Now
40 years old, Tony and wife
Alice are the owners of a
Chinese restaurant that
brings to mind the good little
ones of yesteryears.
"AN EVENING in Africa"
Jan. 27, and "An Evening in
Israel" Feb. 10, are the next
two International Cafes being
held at Southfield Civic
Center, Evergreen and 10 1/2
Mile . . . with ethnic foods,
music and dancing honoring
the heritage of people from
each sector around the world.
