| - tldr; whole roast lamb catering, strip mall digs, hella fantastic food.
First time in. While we were getting seated, a guy at the counter getting takeout explained that his wife made him drive from Cleveland to pick up food. "Maybe she's pregnant" we thought.
Well.
Pregnant or not, Girl has good taste.
We started with the stuffed grape leaves which were doused in a lemony-garlicky-spicy vinaigrette, and the baba ghanoush which was smokey and creamy and came drizzled with a quality olive oil.
I shared the lamb tagine special with couscous ($16 and more than enough for two with generous leftovers) which was a lamb shank cooked just enough to fall apart but still taste deeply of lamb, on top of really savory flavorful couscous. My table also had the lamb burger which was juicy enough to fall into the "wet burrito knife and fork" category, and the garden salad which was (and I'm including Michelin Star) one of the prettiest vegetable dishes I've seen in a while.
As we were leaving, my dad asked about the "whole lamb catering" which is pretty much his new obsession in life. Apparently Creedos will go and obtain a kosher lamb, and stuff it, and roast it, and provide salad and rice and hummus for your party of 25 for $250.
People. I've spent more at McDonald's (per person).
Go to Creedo's. Talk to the Chef. Eat the food. Guaranteed you'll leave happy.
