| - Still my favourite Middle Eastern spot in the city. A couple updates though.
First, after repeat visits, I realize this is really a four star place. I just feel they're cutting corners a little bit. For example, the Vegetable Combo Plate ($12) only has 3 tiny falafel balls. The dips - hummus, baba ganoush, and labneh - are phenomenal though, as is the fatouche salad ($4.50 Regular, $8 Large). Don't be fooled by the foul ($5) though, it ain't so good.
Second, an update on the story behind Armenian Kitchen. It was originally opened by an Armenian guy, hence the name. However, it was later sold to a Lebanese guy, who now runs it. I've heard the quality of Armenian Kitchen has gone down a little in recent years and I wonder if it corresponds to this change in ownership. The waitresses I've talked to are Iraqi and Egyptian. So, there's essentially no Armenian connexion anymore. I don't care though, it's still damn good.
