"Born in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Nasser Jaber has created one of the city’s wildest menus at his newly opened Upper East Side restaurant and Dumbo food-court counter. It merges Middle Eastern and Latin cuisines, with a whole range of snackable items, including tortas, empanadas, hummus, and a shawarma sandwich wrapped in a laffa with garlic sauce. The choice of meat — such as smoky, shredded pork carnitas — highlights Jaber’s global approach to the menu." - Robert Sietsema
