Post #1 - February 1st, 2023, 12:26 pmWell, it's been over three years since we visited what Yelp had as one of “100 Places to Eat in the U.S.” on their radar. Let's return for some awesome Middle Eastern eats. As an added bonus, I'm sure we'll get to hear all about Jay's recent dining exploits out west. You can't put a price on that.

This is a good place to arrive early. A lot of county employees descend on this place during the lunch hour.

Post #6 - February 1st, 2023, 5:20 pmIf you guys want dessert, there are a few panaderias and paleterias on Grand between Papa's and Lewis. But some reviews mention free baklava...
Will be interested to hear the results, especially as some of the menu items don't mention onions. My kid loves Middle Eastern food and it's not real common in this area of town.
And FWIW, that Lewis store has unusual meat items like picanha, rose meat and goat plus excellent manteca casera.

Come on, Joel, it's not like you're on rickshaw.
I should be there. It was a self-directed food-centric trip out West, good tales.

Food and company were great. I had the gyros plate lunch special. Jay had the tilapia. Sorry, I don't recall what the others ordered. We shared a side of baba ghanouj and hummus. Complimentary baklava was tasty.tjr wrote:How was it?
Definitely get there at 11 to avoid the lunch crowd from the courthouse.Never order barbecue in a place that also serves quiche - Lewis Grizzard
