Mangia! Bon appétit! Mahlzeit!

Whatever the language, we know when it's time to eat. So for this week's Patch Picks, we want to know: What are your favorite ethnic restaurants in and around Dedham? 

Each week, Dedham Patch highlights editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off and more in our Thursday feature called Patch Picks.

This week, we're looking for international flavors—without the hassle of a long plane ride. Where do you go? What kind of cuisine do they serve? Do they have a specialty? What about this restaurant makes it stand out from other restaurants that serve the same cuisine?

Leave your suggestions in the comment box below or email timothyr@patch.com. On Thursday, we’ll publish the best answers in Patch Picks.
