Thailand
Chiang Mai is named after the city where the owner grew up. Their dishes are connected with the eastern and southern regions, delivering more aromatic herbs and produce (cilantro, green onion, toasted garlic), complex broths and sauces, and hearty grilled meats indicative of the region. Thai cuisine is a simple yet clever combination of Eastern and Western influences—a blend of sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and spicy.
Meyou brings the taste of the northern region forward with a selection of six different Thai curries along with classic Thai favorites, rice, and noodle-based dishes.
Vietnam
DD Mau means to "go fast and hurry up" in Vietnamese. DDMau owner Julie Truong offers fresh, healthy, and tasty Vietnamese street food staples with recipes from her mom and aunties as inspiration.
India
Flavors Indian Cuisine offers an extensive menu of classic comfort dishes, a variety of protein, including goat and lamb, and a selection of Indo-Chinese dishes. From dal, masalas, and curries, they have something for everyone. Remember the sides of raiti or a mango lassi to help balance the heat. Indian food is a beautiful balance of warming spices, chili spices, and cooling sides.
Balkan Peninsula
Balkan Treat Box has been honored in Food and Wine for the year's best bites! Fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, small hot peppers, and feta cheese make each bite a perfect symphony of flavors. Pide is a great go-to for first timers!

Italy
Peppe's Apt. 2 on the corner of S. Geyer Road and W. Rose Hill in Kirkwood appears to be a Victorian-era house with a cute black and white striped awning. It is an elegant white linen, glittery chandelier Italian dining experience. For 43 years, Chef Peppe Profeta has been hands-on, constantly perfecting his Italian and Mediterranean specialties.
