| - this was one of my favorite madison restaurants
it has 2 sides to it - a fine dining side, and a hole-in-the-wall side. though it's the same food, same price, and both have nice atmospheres, because of my penchant for cheap eats and the strong reminders of israeli street dining, if i had my drothers i'd always opt for the less-classy side.
i pretty much ordered the same thing every time i went here because it was so addicting: the lamb and beef schwarma and some of the most delicious fries i have ever encountered. i always asked for the shwarma pita *without* the techina, though, because i'm not really a condiment person. how you know when you're in an authentic mediterranean restaurant? you say "without techina" and they don't give you blank stares (as much as i like med caf, they don't realize that techina = tahini)
the price is right (very cheap), the location is central, and they're open late. i often yearn for king of falafel schwarma, and if you're lucky enough to be living in madison, if you don't hit up KoF, you're missing out!
