is one of Michigan's largest del-
icatessen carry-out operations,
but you wouldn't know it from
the size. And everything is
homemade, tole slaw, potato

jewel.

price is right for Lebanese and
American food. The original
head chef since Sultan's opened
in 1985, is still in the kitchen
making the authentic middle-

brunch and daily lunch have
gained prominence with food
selections for everyone in the
same exotic atmosphere.

TROY

Charley's Crab, 5498 Crooks
Rd., Troy, 879-2060. Its dining
room was once the beautiful
great room of an auto baron's
Grosse Pointe mansion, sheer
elegance, and the true concept
of Chuck Muer seafood cuisine
is highly exemplified here. But
don't think for a moment that
this is all, just seafood. Charley's
Crab's menu, although highly
fish oriented, also includes dish-
es to delight other palates.

Franco's Cafe, 3614 Rochester
Road, Troy, 528-0153. This is
another of those "sleeper' types
of Italian restaurants you hear
about, as authentic as its own-
er, Sicilian-born Franco Gior-
lando. Wife, Anna Maria, can
prepare most of the items Fran-
co makes but concentrates on
the restaurant's banquets and
party catering. His innovative
ways of cooking are also a rev-
elation, but authenticity is the
keyword of success for an Ital-
ian dining spot that has been
"discovered."

Mon Jin Lau, 1515 E. Maple,
Troy, 689-2332. Enjoy unique
dishes with Thai and Indone-
sian influences as well as clas-
sic Chinese cuisine. Voted Best
Chinese restaurant by Monthly
Detroit. Exceptional dining for
over 22 years. Kitchen open till
one a.m. on Fridays and Satur-
days and until midnight the rest
of the week. Mon jin Lau offers
lunch, dinner, take-out and late
night dining.

Nicky's, 755 W. Big Beaver,
Top of Troy Bldg. Concourse,
362-1262. One of the premier
dining and dancing restaurants
in the metropolitan area, Nicky's
is the class act operation owned
by John Reaser and Nick Sorise.
It features fine dining at rea-
sonable prices with live danc-
ing for listening and dancing
Tuesday thru Saturday. A sump-
tuous all-you-can-eat Sunday
Buffet, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. is a
weekly awaited event for corn-
plete family dining.

WALLED LAKE

Key Largo, 142 E. Walled Lake
Dr., Walled Lake, 669-1441. A
Northwest premiere in water-
front dining, experiences at Key

wiches, salads and daily fresh

Andiamo Italia, 7096 E. 14
Mile Road, Warren, 268-3200...
One of the East Side's most pop-
ular Italian restaurants, Andi-
amo and owner Joe Vicari are
proud of an ability to bring tru-
ly fine dining with legendary
Chef Aldo Ottaviani. Surround-
ings of the beautiful Andiami
atmosphere is also a treat for
folks who have discovered that

WEST BLOOMFIELD

Big Daddy's Parthenon,
6199 Orchard Lake Road, 737-
8600. Opa! comes to the sub-
urbs as Big Daddy's Parthenon
flames galore to big crowds
every night. The Greektown in
West Bloomfield is the pride of

Golden Phoenix, 6257 Or-
chard Lake Rd., Sugar Tree
Shopping Center, West Bloom-
field, 855-3570. Now serving
beer and wine, Golden Phoenix,
specializing in Chinese, Can-
tonese and Szechuan food, is
the same fine restaurant that
had previously been a long-time
favorite on Maple and Tele-
graph. Both dining in and car-
ry-out are available in a wide
assortment of Oriental dishes

Rd., Old Orchard Shopping Cen-

evenings. A second Old Mexi-
co location is on 5 Mile in Livo-
nia.

Ristorante di Maria, 2080
Walnut Lake Road, West Bloom-
field, 851-2500. Although it
only seats around 50 people,
this many-times, jam-packed
Italian restaurant might be
called The Flagship" of the Va-
lente dining stable (La Suna
Grancaffe and Little Italy). It cer-
tainly is the oldest of the three,
starting out years back as just
a little carry-out pizza place and
developing into a very popular
Italian g6urmet-style operation.
Wine is served and Ristorante
di Maria is open seven days a
week.

Stage & Co., 6873 Orchard
Lake Rd., West Bloomfield, 855-
