"Lulu fans may have gone into knafeh pancake withdrawal when chef Mona Leena Michael temporarily closed her restaurant to move into this new space in late 2023. But the restaurant is back as of May 4 — and it’s bigger and better than ever. The staples are all there, including the showstopper mezze platter, and now diners can get a taste of Michael’s wider repertoire with the addition of larger entree items like the Mansaf Pot Pie, a braised lamb dish topped with roti dough, or the Shishbarak Soup Dumplings." - Dianne de Guzman
