The Scene
The Moorish facade on busy Brand Blvd is the first impression folks get of this bustling area favorite known for its Lebanese, Greek and Armenian dishes. Inside, the oversized main room exudes an exotically splashy vibe with scenic frescoes, bronze platters, swashbuckling swords and other assorted artifacts lining the walls; the burbling fountain and various faux plants add a touch of bucolic design naivete. Well-dressed couples and celebratory groups forgo soft conversation on Friday and Saturday evenings, when the stage shimmies to life with belly dancers and (very loud) Middle Eastern musical performances.
The Food
Tradition gets a unique twist on the menu's family style portions. Vegetarians can delight in the abundance of meat-free mezzas (appetizers), including two unusual highlights--lightly fried, tangy doughnut-shaped falafels and muhammara, an addictively spicy-sweet pate of crushed walnuts, red peppers and pomegranate juice. But carnivores needn't worry--entrees include a variety of authentic kebabs like the zesty chicken breast as well as seafood and shawarma specialties.
