This welcoming, family-oriented restaurant serves vivaciously fresh and flavorful Middle Eastern fare. Half the fun is reading the menu: It’s hard to resist a dish called baked kibbee (ground sirloin, crushed wheat and pine nuts) or foul muddamas (crushed fava beans, garlic and lemon juice). The chicken shawarma is scrumptious, and the Lebanese salad—chopped mint, parsley, tomatoes and cucumbers—is electrifying. On Friday and Saturday nights, a belly dancer performs.
