"Cilantro, a Middle Eastern restaurant with an Egyptian focus, has been a South Street classic since it opened in 2019. The casual spot with a few large tables serves puffy homemade pita, showstopping lamb chops, and the best hummus within a five-mile radius. And yet, it’s easy to walk into with a big group on any day of the week. The crispy eggplant wrap, tender beef shawarma, a chilly mango smoothie, and a corner booth full of friends is our formula for a satisfying lunch or laidback dinner. It’s also a BYOB, so if you’re like us and think a glass of wine should accompany every dish, come prepared." - candis mclean
