Forn Al Hara

The Best Things Infatuation LA Ate This Year - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Since taking this job almost six years ago, I’ve had hundreds of memorable meals, but every once in a while, a restaurant truly stops me in my tracks. That’s what Forn Al Hara did to me. Located in Little Arabia in Anaheim, this Lebanese bakery was recommended to me while I was doing research in February for my Best Restaurants In Anaheim guide, and while I wish I could recall my first bite of their manaeesh (Levantine flatbread), I can’t, because I blacked out. There’s over 30 different kinds, ranging from chicken chipotle to cheese and eggs, and the fact of the matter is they’re all excellent. But if I had to name a top three, it’d be the sujuk (cured beef sausage) with cheese, lahem bel ajeen (ground beef with veggies and tomatoes), and sweet and spicy muhamara (hot pepper spread made with pomegranate molasses). - BC" - Brant Cox, Kat Hong, Brett Keating, James Montgomery
