"Bishos in Fox Chase is a Middle Eastern shop that’s as good for a casual meal with friends as it is for a solo lunch of lamb pita. At this counter-service spot, you'll find groups hanging out in black booths, solo diners sitting at counters and stools near open windows, and rotating, meat-glistening shawarmas near the kitchen. The menu is what you’d primarily expect: herby falafel on a bed of garlic rice, wraps, meaty skewers, and chicken with toasty za'atar saj bread—mostly all cooked on the grill. And while it’s a restaurant full of familiar dishes, the housemade garlic sauces, spices, and tahini make us fantasize about eating them in an endless time loop. Walk in any day of the week for a casual meal of hummus, the best cucumber and mint lemonade you'll ever have, and swirling meat that you’ll hypnotically stare at until a plate arrives at your table. photo credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO" - Candis R.
