"The Abijaoude family opened the Mediterranean deli-slash-bakery-slash-market-slash-restaurant in 1979, per Statesman, serving excellent shawarma, za’atar bread, and pastries. There’s this location in the Barton Hills neighborhood and a second one up on Burnet in the Brentwood neighborhood. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are indoor dine-in areas." - Melanie Haupt, Erin Russell
