"Shaddai’s velvety hummus and pita as thin as expensive bedsheets are reason enough to come here. Order the Shaddai platter to start. It comes with that hummus, smokey baba ghanoush, a big pile of lemony tabouleh, grape leaves, and delicious kibbeh with a faintly sweet taste. It’s easy to grab a table any time during the week, so Shaddai works for an impromptu lunch or a casual dinner date." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
