A terrible chain of events had to happen before I came to this place one evening. Three restaurants we had in mind didn't workout, and we were running out of options. I saw this place on my map, and I had heard that it was generating some buzz, so I was like, let's give it a shot. And thank God we did. This place was out of this world delicious.
We ordered a bunch of stuff and shared.
We ordered a whole tray of falafel. It came on a bed of lettuce and a good amount of pickled veg. Great falafel. Bite-sized, crispy and crunchy, not too dry. I think the smaller size helped with it not being dry. A very good falafel. Would recommend.
Then, we ordered a Lahm Ajeen & Cheese, which is a Middle Eastern flatbread topped with minced meat (most commonly beef or lamb), minced vegetables, and herbs including onions, garlic, tomatoes, red peppers, and parsley, flavored with spices such as chili pepper and paprika, then baked.
This was very good. It was a floppy flatbread, covered with the minced meat, topped with an ooey gooey cheese. The flavor was bam, smack in your face with a deep flavor. It was very chili peppery and paprikay. I just loved it. A new dish for me.
We also shared a Chicken Shawrma Sandwich. Great chicken shawrma. Again, the key here was making this dish not dry. And mission accomplished. Moist, delicious chicken in a very tightly wrapped wrap. I could eat three of these. Very nice.
The one hiccup was that I ordered a few flatbreads to go along with the large sides of Hummus and Baba Ghanoush. But I didn't receive those flatbreads in my to-go bags. Which was a major bummer. But we made due. We just dipped everything else we had into the dips and made the best of it.
Overall, this place was a blessing in disguise. I'm so glad this place is just down the road, and I will probably be back many times.
