I had been meaning to add Fatima to the site after its change in location. I wanted to make sure it still maintained the high quality. I had the opportunity today and brought my friend Robin along.

We arrive and there is a good number of people here, but there is no waiting. We are quickly shown a table and the menus. Since we are doing a bit of catch up as well, we are taking our time. They check on us periodically for ordering, but not pestering at all.

We go with an order of the Green Onion bread, and I go with the spicy Eggplant while Robin goes with the curry chicken.

Our lunch specials came with soup and eggrolls. The egg drop soup is good but there is a little bit of meat in there (at least in mine) which was a letdown.

The eggrolls, however, were veggie and quite good. A bit on the small & thin side, but still tasty. Before we could finish these however, our dishes (and the green onion bread) arrived. Service was very swift and attentive.

The green onion bread was tasty. If you like sesame, especially, you will enjoy it. The dough was soft and very fresh tasting, like a well-done pizza crust. The taste of green onion and garlic was there, but not overpowering.

The eggplant, however, was just OK. It was not spicy at all, and while it was still fresh tasting, it was nothing I would order again. Robin said that his curry chicken didn't have a whole lot of flavor either.

Prices were good, service was great, and the green onion bread was tasty, yet I still didn't think this place could break out of the 8 range. The dishes need a little more pizzazz but the lunch specials are tasty, served fast, and a good deal.

Mongolian Beef

Ive been going to Fatimas for 8 years and have not found a better deal than their lunch special. For around 5 dollars i can get a huge platter of mongolian beef, steamed rice, soup, and an eggroll. All which taste ridiculously good. Simply too good.
