New Haven-style pizza has made its way to Dallas. Head to this spot in Garland to try this thin crust, coal-fired pie. The clam pie, a New England favorite, is already earning raves, as are the meatballs and cannoli.

Lake Highlands gets a much-needed neighborhood bistro with this opening. Its signature dish, the magic chicken thighs with mashed yams and mustard greens, is reason enough to get in ASAP but the carefully selected list of wines by the glass and natural wine options are a fine reason to make plans to linger.

Las Colinas adds a fine dining Indian restaurant with a menu that aims to represent every region of the country — no small feat. Dine on shakargandi amrak chaat (a Delhi street food) or bharwan paneer tikka. It also covers the history of India, reaching back thousands of years — for example, the scallops recheado, which is a take on the Goan dish with roots dating back to the time when the state was under Portuguese rule.

The space that once hosted the grungy Gas Monkey Bar got a massive upgrade when this Mexican restaurant moved in. It has the space, so it still hosts live music and eating on the massive patio is still an option. But now it can be done over a birria burger, whole fried snapper, and Mexican street tacos.

This family-owned place in Mockingbird Station serves Japanese barbecue, tapas, ramen, and dumplings. It also has a solid lunch menu with special combos of chicken karage, shrimp tempura, chashu, and teriyaki chicken weighing in at under $15 for a plate.

If Lawry’s closing caught you off guard, not to worry — a new guard has stepped up in Cedar Springs. The Landmark Prime Rib is hosting guests for a dinner menu centered around thick, juicy cuts of beef. Service is interesting — the team refurbished a prime rib cart from the 1940s that’s the centerpiece of the dining room and customers are directed to it for a fresh cut when their meal is ready.

The Design District lands a new sushi joint — and it’s not omakase. Shodo serves classic cuts from across representations. The menu features tataki (pounded) beef, a poke bowl, yakitori (skewered), onigri (rice balls), and handrolls, along with sashimi and nigiri bites and sushi rolls.

Looking for a power lunch spot? It is now a thing in the Harwood District. This breakfast and lunch brassiere, with a “theme” inspired by the law firm that occupies much of the building, pretty much every classic breakfast dish we could name. For lunch, there’s a lot of classic American going on, with just a hint of Gulf- and Creole-inspired dishes. We’re going for the lobster roll.

This spot has finally opened (re-opened?) after a massive makeover under new ownership. Pop in when you’re Downtown for breakfast, lunch, or happy hour — word is that dinner service will be added. Until then, order a coffee made by the Faema espresso machine and chow down on a plate of blackberry lemon mascarpone French toast or a lunch special plate.

Dive into Nepalese fare at this South Arlington restaurant. Menu highlights include momo dumplings, filled with chicken, pork, beef, potato, and a veggie option. Other notable dishes worth trying are the keema noodles served with finely chopped meat and wok-cooked chicken chili. There’s also a speakeasy with a limited menu and cocktails open in the evenings.

This ribs-only spot in Fort Worth comes from Goldee’s owner Jonny White, and two of his childhood friends. The ribs are smoked on a rotisserie and served with fries, cole slaw, a roll, and a can of soda. There are four options: original, sweet ribs, spicy cayenne with red pepper flakes and chili powder, and hot honey. It’s all super simple and will probably be faster service than the notorious lines at Goldee’s.
