| - Maxime's is a FIND.
Tucked atop a nondescript 2-story building on Beaver Grade Road, Maxime's is full of Mediterranean goodness, a to-go deli filled with hummus, baba ghanouj (perfection, just a great interpretation of this eggplant standard), stuffed grape leaves (lemony and savory but a little one-note), tabbouli, and other easy-to-eat, tougher to pronounce delights.
I particularly liked the Mjaddra Lentil + Rice, a hearty dish-warm and filling, topped with sauteed, succulent onions.
We asked for pita and got it, but perhaps with a big to-go order it should just be included. There were more things to be had but not enough appetite to have them all.
The owner is darling, very personable and helpful, but it seems as if she might have been on her own, since it was a random time between lunch and dinner.
A definite jewel in the rough, would love to try the falafel next, along with some of that delicate baklava.
