  • Recently went here for dinner prior to seeing "Chicago" (which was AWESOME BTW)....Picked Levant because I've eaten here 2 times for lunch as I work Uptown. It's a relatively small place, but nicely decorated, dim yet not dark, great bar and nice overall ambiance. This is more of a Turkish place than Greek (for those of you who were wondering since the term "Mediterranean" can be applied to any country in that region). Anyway, they have a nice menu, though not a huge selection. But they have your traditional Kabobs and Lamb dishes. Surprised to see a Veal chop dish, but ordered the Mixed Kabob plate instead. This dish had one Kabob of Beef, Chicken, Lamb and Kafta (which is a spicy beef roll). They were all very yummy, but the Lamb stood out. Also ordered their famous Yogurt dish, which they "triple strain" themselves. Now this was the best yogurt I've ever had. It came out in a circle, with real Mediterranean EVOO in the middle. When I first tried it, it tasted like SOUR CREAM, but I still knew it was Yogurt! VERY thick, rich and creamy. It is Greek-style, only much much better! With my dish, I got their Hummus which was very creamy and flavorful. Also got their Baba Ghannouj (eggplant puree) which was also yummy. Dessert was a real treat! Had the Kenafeh, which was a sweet cheese topped with what they called "shredded wheat." Silly me, I was thinking of the cereal and thought that would be weird! But thankfully, it was NOT cereal but rather a smooth, silky mixutre which added to the sweet cheese flavor. Never had this one before, and it was delicious! Oh, and it was not nearly as "heavy" as one would expect from a cheese dish. My only "negative" is that the wine prices are quite high. Guess that is normal for Uptown. But it prevented me from ordering a bottle when I knew that their markup was 100% (meaning double retail). Also the waiter was awfully young and didn't know that Greece was in the Mediterranean region because of a question I asked. Minor nitpick, he was nice, but it would be great if they had a more mature and knowledgeable waitstaff. Overall, an excellent choice for lunch or dinner!
