The 38 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas | Eater Vegas

"Chef Eyal Shani’s pita restaurant inside the Venetian Resort & Casino is unassuming at first glance. Tucked away in the shadow of Shani’s behemoth high-decibel HaSalon, the quick-service restaurant with high-top seating offers a fairly tight menu of sandwiches and vegetable-centric sides — on a menu entirely written in Comic Sans font. Standout sandwiches include the wild mushroom pita — described on the menu as “a whole forest burned on hot steel.” Deftly grilled shiitake, portobello, and oyster mushrooms are drenched in a spicy sour cream sauce with roasted vegetables and scallions. The rib-eye minute steak comes slathered with tahini, tomato salsa, and spicy green peppers, making for a drippy and boldly flavorful pita sandwich. Shani takes his vegetables seriously, imbuing an almost reverent tone toward them. It’s an attitude perhaps most evident in a nondescript bag of green beans. Served cold and crunchy with olive oil, lemon, salt, and garlic, they’re worth every one of the $11 they cost. —Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Know before you go: If there is no space at the counter, additional seating is hidden behind the false walk-in refrigerator door." - Matthew Kang
