" The Meal: Za’atar Extra Open Mana’ish, $6.99 Almost everything on the menu at this classic Lebanese bakery in Granada Hills costs less than $15. That includes gooey cheese boats, thick falafel pies, and soujouk saj. Good luck not walking out with boxes of each, but if you’re not trying to spend a lot of money right now, go for the za’atar extra open mana’ish. This doughy, circular flatbread is about the size of a 12-inch pizza and comes topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, black olives, and mint leaves, plus a thin coat of za’atar as a base. We almost always have leftovers." - Nikko Duren, Brant Cox, Sylvio Martins
