I stopped in on the recommendation of a neighbor. The atmosphere was more Subway than exotic but the food and service was all that and a bag of chips.
I started with a side of Babba Ganouj as an appetizer. It was so creamy and tasty with the pita bread, I could have made a meal out of it. Next was a combination platter that included three kinds of meats. Shish Kefta, Shish Tawooq, and Shish Kabob. The meats were accompanied by Fatoush (a salad of greens, tomatoes and pita chips) and Hummus.
The meats were seasoned very well and were extremely tender and juicy. The salad had a complexity of flavors accented with Mint and spices. I really liked the flavor combinations.
This was my first time really experiencing Middle Eastern food. Iman, the owner, spent time explaining the dishes to me and explained that this is authentic and cooked just like the old country. No dumbing down or "Americanization" of the food here. It's the real deal!
One of the things I'd like to see them add to the menu would be lamb. This would really round it out.
I'll be back!!
