An online review of Guacamole by – Alfas Kelertas

Last Saturday, I went to a  restaurant in Akropolis called Guacamole, here in Kaunas.  I had been to this restaurant before, but never with my dad, so it was pretty exciting.

  The outside of the restaurant looked inviting. There were lots of people already there, there was Latin music playing and I could smell a pretty pleasant, yet faint aroma. A waiter sat us down on the second floor of the restaurant. There were very cool decorations all around. Some were lovely art pieces, all sorts of lamps and cool wooden structures. Most of it didn’t feel tacky, pretty rich even, although there was a huge cactus with a sombrero at the entrance, obviously. My dad ordered a Guacamole special “Burning Fajitas” with chicken and vegetables. It was 10 euro. I ordered two chicken burritos and nachos on the side. Also, we asked for pico de gallo salsa. I have had this before, so I knew what to expect, but my dad’s order was sort of a mystery. We’d never had fajitas before. In our family, we enjoy Mexican food, however we don’t have it very often. 

We got our drinks pretty quickly and both my dad’s and my food arrived simultaneously around 15  minutes later. The waiter put down a hot black skillet of the Fajitas, warned us not to touch it, and pulled a little black plastic container out of the devil knows where. It contained some sort of liquid. Then, he proceeded to squirt out some of the liquid (which we later found out was oil) over the food. Next, he got a lighter out. He lit it near my dad’s fajitas and they erupted into flames. Slowly but surely, the fire burned out in the span of 20 seconds. It was impressive, however it also explained the 10 euro price tag. It wasn’t much food, so the money probably went more into the show. My burrito was good, although maybe a little bland. I wasn’t expecting much, but it is very unfortunate that Guacamole doesn’t have any spicy burritos. I would’ve definitely preferred that. But the food was excellent nevertheless. I felt full. From what my dad told me, he really liked the fajitas. He said they were a little spicy and tasted amazing. The service was great and our waiter was helpful and informative. He even talked to us a bit about the restaurant. 

I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a pleasant dining experience with a twist. Guacamole has a solid amount of vegetarian options, but not vegan ones though. It has good desserts and dinner meals, but the selection isn’t very wide. Especially if you’re looking for spicy Mexican food. Not much more than a solid chili con carne and the fajitas. Overall, a good experience. 7 out of 10 stars – will come again.

An online review of Grill London by – The Queen of England of Kaunas

A month ago, some family members and I went to Grill London for a nice afternoon meal. It was a final goodbye, as most of them were going back to England because they live there. It was especially sad because my sister was also returning to Italy.

The decoration and the interior were quite dark, which my family members didn’t like, but I personally loved it. It really goes with the restaurant. The food of Grill London is based on London restaurants, which are mainly grill restaurants, hence the name. I’ve been to quite a few restaurants in London and their interior really matched the esthetic of Grill London. So they did good on the interior. The cleanliness of the restaurant wasn’t the best. Our table, even after being cleaned, had sauce stains. So, their waiters need to do a better job in that department. T

he menu wasn’t very big but personally I think it’s nice. They offer a simple but very tasty food selection. The prices were low for how good the meal was. When we ordered the food, it took a little while to arrive, but there were a lot of us, ten to be exact. So for the amount of people, the food arrived quite fast. I ordered grilled chicken with lettuce and potato chips. I really liked it. The meat had nice seasoning and was grilled nicely,  although in my opinion the lettuce was quite dry.

I’d rate this restaurant a 4.5 stars out of five.
The restaurant was great. The food is affordable and nice, the interior is very moody and well fit. I’d say it’s a great restaurant to come to with friends for a nice and fun meal. The reason I rate this a 4.5 stars is because of the cleanliness. The sauce  that wasn’t cleaned was quite gross. We did ask for a waiter to clean it, but they seemed annoyed to be asked to do a thing that is their job. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.

An online review of Manami by – Martyna_Fia

Nowadays, lots of new restaurants are opening. But how do you know which restaurants  are the best for you? If you like Asian food, then “Manami” is a really good choice for you to try. My friend and I went to this restaurant after a movie. We were hungry and wanted to have something fast, so we didn’t have very high expectations.  

When we walked in, we heard calm music playing in the background and the smell was amazing. The restaurant itself was not too impressive: tables with chairs, a kitchen, some plants, and paintings. 

The waiters were very nice and we didn’t have to wait long to get menus. When the menus arrived, there were lots of food choices: sushi, ramen, drinks and also desserts. My friend ordered sushi. It looked amazing and as she said it was delicious too, so  she ordered a second portion. I ordered the ramen. it looked and smelled flavorful. It was very delicious: a bit  spicy for me, but still good. 

Of course the restaurant looked a bit plain, but the food was amazing. The waiters were very friendly and some even made jokes. I would really recommend this restaurant for people who love Asian food or even just spicy food.
