| - On the cover of their menu, Sittoo's is described as a place that serves "Grandma's traditional Lebanese recipes prepared with the finest quality ingredients." Out of curiosity, I stopped in today, and am VERY glad I did! The food is FANTASTIC, and reasonably priced. The decor is very inviting and even a bit upscale (tiled floors), with beautiful, large paintings of old village agrarian life (presumably Lebanon?) and pastoral scenes which harken one back to a much simpler time in 'the old country'. The dining room is very clean and inviting, with booths and tables in 2 semi-divided dining areas. There are even some beautiful old rustic pieces of furniture lining the main entrance. Sittoo's looks like they spent a lot of time and effort decorating their restaurant, and it shows. The take-out area is nice too, with ample seating and a wooden bench where you wait for your food, prepared on the spot. They either bring your food to your booth/table, or you pick up at a counter (like a Panera's) and seat yourself. Very nice! I ordered a Shistawook Sandwich (char-grilled chicken strips, veggies, and garlic sauce wrapped in a pita), Spinach Pie, and Baklava, and all tasted great! The chicken was very juicy with no fat. They even have a kids menu, so I will be back with my wife and child next time. It's nice to see a place like Sittoo's come to this area and provide a variety of food options that we so desperately need! LOVE this place!
UPDATE: I have some constructive criticism for Sittoo's. I've been here a few times already, and have only 1 minor issue regarding their Kid's Meals. The chicken kid's meal and kid's fries were not liked at all by my daughter and her best friend. They (as most kids do) expected lightly fried and breaded American style chicken strips and crunchier, plain fries without lemon and spices added. Sittoo's kid's chicken strips were broiled or baked and topped with spices that the kid's didn't like at all! They would have also liked a chicken and fries combo option, and didn't care for the hummus. Personally, I liked them, but try and get a fussy 8 year old to eat something new and/or healthy! FUGGEDABOUDIT!
