| - A classic in the JTM area, which I love and been loving for many years.
A casual restaurant with excellent Syrian and Armenian fare at affordable prices. Amongst the classics, if its your first time, I'd say you've got to try the metabal, the mouhamarra, the labneh with garlic, the shinklish salad made with tomatoes and cheese, fattoush salad and one of rolled pitas.
They have an excellent wine list, probably in part because of its bigger brother, the more refined Alep next door, along with a knowledgeable sommelier. If you're more into cocktails, theirs are excellent as well.
The only fault, in my opinion, is that they do not take reservations. Unless you arrive early or late, expect to wait 30 minutes up to an hour to get a table. Fear not, however, they will serve you drinks so that you can chat with your party until a table is available. I would prefer, however, to be able to reserve a table. In the end, though, the food is well worth the wait!
