Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: March 25 | Eater NY
"Ducking in from the storm, we found Ayat’s East Village outpost crowded but seated, and the BYOB-friendly, Palestinian-owned restaurant sent a fleet of dishes: a not-so-traditional shrimp scampi pizza and an ultra-luxe mezze platter to start, but the tremendous chicken main course stole the show — a huge bird on a sea of yellow rice rich like gold ($26), its aromatics heavy with garlic and onion and a depth of flavor that let me tear through the spicy skin and dunk bits of flesh in hummus and tahini; the dish leans meaty over vegetal a bit, so it can be shared, though big eaters will find it no challenge." - Eater Staff
