Favourite ethnic food restaurants in Edmonton??

I have lived in the city for a while BUT I didn't have a car until recently. I would like to know where you think the best ethnic food is in Edmonton so I can check them out too! So far two of my favourite places are Langano Skies (Whyte ave) and Buoalong Laos and Thai restaurant (on 97th street).

When I was a chef and worked there from 1982-84, my favorite was a Ukrainian place near the municpal airport and the hospital, I cannot remember the name and the first tme I had falafel was from a place on 102 St next to the Bay (Downtown) it was a small place.

Alot has changed, I have gone on to some of the Edmonton Restaurant review sites and it is incredible the selection now, alot of chinese buffets, like here in Toronto it is a big decison.
