"Arpeggio Grill’s dark, cozy dining room smells faintly of hookah—probably from the lounge they own next door—mixed with the scents of olive oil, gyro meat, and the hundreds of other items on their massive menu that spans everything from pizza and wings to kofta kabob and slow-cooked lamb shanks. Don’t be intimidated—just show up at lunch when you can get a platter with any three sides (we like the hummus), a salad, bottomless pita, a soda, and a plate of gyro or shawarma meat for about $12. Nothing here will be the best version of itself, but the prices are reasonable and the portions are large. They’ve also got a few ground-level tables where you can take off your shoes and sit on a cushion for an extra-comfortable experience." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
