Wow, what a find - if you can find it.\r
\r
This ""Lebanese Cuisine"" restaurant is tucked away in a small strip mall off of S. Downing near Washington Park. \r
\r
There was only one other table with customers, so the service was quick and very friendly- the waiter, looked like a local from Wash Park but spoke a little Arabic as he greeted us.\r
\r
We had almost everything on the menu by ordering the King Combo (chicken kafta, beef kabab, some lamb, hom os (hummus), tabouleh, falafel, baba ghanouj, and pita bread. Enough food for two people. The baba ghanouj was great with a subtle smoky egg plant flavor. The chicken was very moist with a nice marinade flavor. \r
\r
A fresh lemonade with some type of mild flower-type infusion and pickled turnips made the meal even more unique. \r
\r
Two can eat for less that $20 total easily as an added bonus. Definitely a place to go back and try other items from the menu.\r

Pros: Service, Unique Taste, Large Portions, Value
