Let me start by saying that I am not a connoisseur on ethnic foods, but we have many readers who fit the bill! I asked our fans for their favorite ethnic restaurants in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Burlington, High Point and surrounding areas. Thanks to some foodies in our midst, I was able to compile the list is below.
We tried to include as many authentic venues as possible and also mixed in a few “chains” that readers claim to be close to the real thing. I have restaurants listed by ethnic theme, rather than by city since sometimes driving an extra 30 minutes can be well worth it for delicious food! If you have more favorites to add, please comment at the end of the blog.
