BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Main Street in Buffalo is home to a Black-owned restaurant, Luxor Steak and Lobster.
Tara and Taru Woods own the restaurant and although they specialize in steak and lobster, the egg rolls they offer are also very popular.
"Our salmon egg rolls. People love the chicken egg rolls, the steak egg rolls and then we also have our $25 steak and lobster meal, where you get two sides that people just can't seem to get enough of," Tara said.
"Then we have a shrimp and lobster pasta. That's delicious," Taru said. "Our go-to meal here."
The restaurant was recently closed for two months, but during that time, the two were able to brainstorm and expand into the breakfast realm.
For Black Restaurant Week, you can expect dinner and breakfast specials for $20.24.
Breakfast specials include haddock, eggs and grits meals or two salmon, egg and cheese breakfast croissants.
Dinner specials include steak and lobster tail with two sides or shrimp and lobster pasta.
"We've heard great things about the food and wanted to come out and support Black-owned businesses," Sherese Hicks said. "We have the shrimp and lobster pasta."
Best friends Sherese Hicks and Tyi Harris are first-time customers at the steak and lobster restaurant.
They told me the food did not disappoint.
"It has a Cajun spice to it that is very good. It has a good kick to it. Plentiful shrimp. Nice size and lobster and it's very flavorful," they shared.
For Jamar Braxton Rasheed and his daughter, Shakila, it was the perfect time to introduce his daughter to what is becoming a hometown favorite.
"The service is great here. I've been here when they've had music so I like the atmosphere here. Of course, the food that I've had was absolutely great as well," Rasheed said.
Wherever you decide to spend time for a meal this Black Restaurant Week, Tara is challenging you to just try something different.
"Black Restaurant Week is a really special thing because it makes people step outside of their comfort zone and try things that they never have thought to try, come into restaurants that they may have never even known existed," Tara said.
Luxor's new hours are Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Breakfast will be served during this time.
Wednesday through Saturday lunch and dinner will be served from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
