Lebanese restaurant · Monterey

@infatuation

"This casual Mediterranean restaurant is perfect for a quick lunch of things like foul moudamas made with garlicky fava beans, kofta kebabs, and their legendary garlic chicken. If you need a break from making decisions after a long day of sightseeing deliberations, we suggest one of their vegetable or meat combo plates. They range from $19-$24, and come with your choice of main dish alongside hummus, saffron-tinted rice, spinach salad, and pita. There are only a few tables inside, so you’re better off taking everything to go if it gets full." - allison green, gabi moskowitz
