Description:

The combination kebab platter is a good example of the kitchen's skill. They're all tender but not too, marinated to deliciousness, nicely seasoned, and cooked to a char on the outside while not drying the meat out. The hummos and rice that come with it are first-class. All this is true of the other entrees, with the exception of items I wouldn't order anywhere (gyros and tilapia). The portions, typical of Lebanese restaurants, are too large to finish comfortably. The olive-oil-and-herb dipping sauce and pita bread they bring at the beginning is sort of a make-it-yourself zaatar bread.
