"If you're looking to eat "family-style" with your actual family, take them to Maydan. The Middle Eastern restaurant in Cardozo has a shared tasting menu ($75 per guest) that includes plates of hummus and creamy labne alongside honeyed, harissa-roasted carrots and exquisitely charred lamb shish kebab. Instead of arguing over the menu, fight over something worthwhile like who gets the last piece of bread (the bread here is unlimited, but your brother doesn’t need to know that). Reservations are released 21 days in advance at 10am. If you’re not the planning-ahead type, they do release a limited number of tables a few hours before opening. You might end up sitting outside, away from the warmth of the restaurant’s open-fire hearth, but it’s worth a try." - omnia saed
