On a visit to the city, I looked up the downtown area in Carrollton because that's where our hotel was. I was not disappointed to find this "small town" kind of downtown with antiques and specialty shops. It was a beautiful addition to our trip.
We goggled ethnic restaurants and chose this one. When we arrived we noticed it was 1/2 restaurant, 1/2 spa. We were not sure but at first but the experience was good and the good was delicious. Big servings. We even leaned Russian. #restaurant
