Esplanade International Grill

If you're looking to savor a massive portion of Middle Eastern-style beef stroganoff grilled to order and served on a bed of yellow rice on a chilly November day, you're in for a treat—especially if you enjoy slightly overcooked meat and some unique seasonings. Just make sure they have the ingredients available and are ready to share! The staff are really friendly too!

If you're craving a generous serving of Middle Eastern-style beef stroganoff grilled to perfection and served over a bed of yellow rice on a chilly November day, you're in for a treat—if they have the ingredients and are willing to share, that is. Just keep in mind that the meat might be a bit overcooked, and the seasoning might be somewhat unconventional, which could appeal to your palate!

The cashier was a hefty man who insulted me for merely looking inside my bag. An older, overweight staff member also hurled insults my way simply because I glanced into my bag.

The beer selection is decent, but prices are on the higher side, similar to what you'd find at any corner store. They do accept credit cards. However, the Middle Eastern food is truly outstanding!

It's a typical corner 7-Eleven, complete with a small kitchen area. They offer a range of options, from frozen pizza to Arabic food. I’ve never felt particularly compelled to try the food, but it’s available if you want it. Since I lived just half a block away, it became my go-to spot for evening beer and cold soda the next morning. The staff is also very friendly.
