Fine Dining
Parallel 33 is one of the well-rated restaurants in the city. It's a fine-dining establishment whose menu us a fusion of multiple nationalities, including, but not limited to, Moroccan, Chinese and Indian flavors. The restaurant's decor is just as diverse as it's food, so be prepared to experience a bit of everything there. They are located in Mission Hills and reservations are accepted.
