Amazing food and service to match! Alep takes reservations; Alep Petit, next door, is more casual, but does not - and reservations are highly recommended, both fill up fast. And for good reason. We went with their fixed menu, which started with spreads and salads and then moved into kabobs and a lamb stew of sorts. The spreads were creamy, with a very nice baba ganoush and a creative tomato/chevre combination. The main course was not only amazingly spiced, but perfectly executed. The kabobs were tender and caramelized on the outside but medium rare in the middle, and the lamb was all but addictive.
On top of that, the service was attentive, with a fantastic sommelier.
