| - I used to love this place, but that's because I was a teenaged vegetarian without a car or the good sense to go into a restaurant that wasn't staffed by hipsters and next to a killer record store. The food is not bad, but it's so boring. They have seven ingredients, yet 45 dishes. The hummus is palatable, but by no means would it register as a "good" hummus.
I used to think the fetoush salad was enough for 3 portions, too, until I realized that fetoush does not keep. The "fetoush" part of it is the delicious croutons, if I'm not mistaken. If forced to eat here again, I'd try to get someone to split that with me, with maybe the salmon. If you are eating here because you are on a diet, get the waiter to bring you cucumbers and tomato slices with your inevitable hummus or baba ghanoush order. Don't waste time on the pita pizzas, they are glorified cheese crisps, which you can get (accompanied by a good, stiff margarita) at Fez. Ordering delivery from here feels like getting robbed by a grocer, the food is so simple. Good? Bad? Eh.
I do really love their stuffed grape leaves, but they are not the most popular dish (no one else I know likes them), so I would not try them unless you have a history of loving pickled/sour/savory things to your own painful detriment. Split tongue, etc.
