A Guide to the Middle Eastern Restaurants in Chicago’s Southwest Suburbs

"In the realm of Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian, and Syrian desserts, knafa is the best known in either its na’ima or khishna forms (na’ima being made with semolina and khishna with knafa or kadaif pastry; a thin vermicelli-like noodle). Prince has both, with its distinctive dark orange, along with other well known classics, including three different kinds of basboosa or harissa (a cornmeal cake soaked in syrup featuring a variety of toppings), and ma’amoul (with walnut and date varieties). Prince also features Palestinian regional specialties, like karakiyya, a thin-fried dough dotted with black seed and sesame soaked in syrup." - N.A. Mansour
