| - A huge boon to North Olmsted! Middle eastern market with lots of the frozen items you are looking for, some fresh veg, genuinely fresh pita - soft and pliable, and really well made takeout items, and a variety of beverages and pickles.
The deli chef is an excellent cook. What we tried from the deli over the course of four visits:
Lebnah - a soft cheese with spicing. Spicy (if you're not used to spice). Excellent.
Hummus - made with quality Lebanese tahini. A little different than I make it, but quite good.
Baba Ganoush - creamy garlic and eggplant
Tabbouli/taruli - made right. A parsley salad with a smattering of bulgur, seasoned just right.
Breaded cauliflower - very nice. Deep fried, flavored breading
Spinach pie - thumbs up from the other eaters. I didn't have one.
Meat pies - two varieties tried. Both well made, one with more cumin than the other.
Fresh very large flat bread - sort of afghani style, my knowledge is limited here. Fresh and pliable.
Kusa - a garlicky squash dip. Yum.
Fried zucchini in tahini. Yes.
Manakish zatar, manakish cheese and zatar. Small flatbreads with cheese and/or zatar, an herb blend. Delightful.
Various desserts, including nougat with apricot, and several fried and sugared desserts, names unknown to me. All good quality.
