802 Canyon Rd

"This Middle Eastern bistro sits inside a cozy Canyon Road buildingdecorated with original pieces by local artist Sepideh Majd. For the cuisine, chef (and owner) Neema Sadeghi's small Middle Eastern plates rely on starters like stuffed grape leaves and hummus followed by more traditional dishes like an eggplant-based kashk-e-bademjan and a hearty stew known as abgoosht . Guests nosh on assorted grilled kebabs (easy toshare) and thinly sliced fish, beef, or lamb served atop basmati rice with saffron. For dessert, opt for the refreshingly subtle rosewater and lime ice cream."
