"At this intimate Middle Eastern spot centered on the taboon, the chicken maschan ($42) shows the kitchen’s touch: organic chicken breast stuffed with an aromatic mousse of chicken thigh meat, maitakes, and black truffles, seared in a pan and finished in the clay oven until the skin crisps. Served with ninja radish and braised pattypan squash atop the restaurant’s signature bread—studded with barberries and caramelized onion and baked in the taboon—it eats like a perfect, elevated open-faced sandwich." - Melissa McCart
