I usually avoid new restaurants for a month or two until they get their kinks out, but I went to Peli-Peli the first Friday they were open. You could tell the waiter was new - he didn't know the menu at all, but that is not surprising. We really liked the food, it was really tasty, and Peli-Peli had a number of unusual items that you can't find just anywhere. Wife and kid loved the Carrot-Ginger soup, the Peli-Peli Chicken and Beef Sosaties will be ordered again, and the Drakensberg Ribs are quite a twist on your usual BBQ. Sides of sweet potato fries and CousCous were fine. The Grilled Fruit Passion Dessert was overpriced, and I had a terrible Russian beer, but other than that, we were very pleased with the place. We will be back - it's a great addition to the area dining scene.

www.shopwillowbrookmall.com shows the Apple Store as "Opening Soon". Apple just opened a store in the Willowbrook Mall in Troy, NJ. I was worried that people had confused the two malls, so I was glad to see it confirmed online that Apple is coming to "our" Willowbrook.
