"The ultimate IYKYK spot in the Valley is Santa Ynez Billiards & Cafe, a pool hall serving an under-the-radar menu of falafel, shawarma, kababs, tabouli, and more. Originally from Syria, the Abdulaziz family moved to the area from Michigan in 2015 to run the pool hall and sports bar, and slowly introduced Middle Eastern foods using family recipes. For a best-of-both-worlds experience, try the tri-tip sandwich rubbed with Syrian and Santa Maria spices and grilled over red oak." - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
