| - This is a phenomenal Middle Eastern restaurant, definitely the best I've ever had and I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur. The interior is decorated in a warm, inviting peach tone and the picture windows offer a fantastic street view. We didn't know, but it's BYOB and the couple sitting next to us was sharing a bottle of wine.
I ordered a cup of mint tea and was pleasantly surprised when they brought me a steeping hot mug with fresh mint floating in it....wonderful! We started off with hummus sababa, which was very generously sized; the hummus was drizzled with lemon, olive oil parsley and flourished with hard boiled eggs. The pita that came with it was hot, soft and very tasty. I couldn't stop eating it. We shared a large bowl of lentil soup, probably the best I've ever had.
I was nearly full when our main dishes arrived. We ordered from the quick bites section (priced $6 to $10 for large portions) instead of the entree section, the only difference being that the entrees come with sides. I ordered the kababa lafa wrap, which is shaved ground beef with herbs and spices, and my husband ordered the falafel lafa wrap. Each was seasoned perfectly, with the falafel having bits of pepper in it that gave it a wonderful flair, but I liked the kababa best because it was melt-in-your mouth perfection.
Needless to say, we were too full to order dessert but we had a delightful experience. The owner came around mid-meal and drifted from table to table to make sure everyone's dining experience was good, it was a personal touch that really topped off the evening. The only complaint I have is that it closes at 9 PM.
