We discovered this restaurant on Citysearch and weren't disappointed. The food is outstanding, especially the appetizer platters like baba ghanouj, hoummus and falafel. The portions are quite generous at very reasonable prices. We ate like kings for $22 for two people. The first time we went, we brought both a bottle of red and a bottle of white, but were only charged one $5 corking fee. The food comes out quite quickly, so there isn't a whole lot of time to eat leisurely. The first thing out is a plate of zatar (I hope I'm spelling that right). It's a mixture of olive oil, oregano, and sesame seeds with a little bit of chopped onion and chopped tomato. You dip the pita bread in it. It's scrumptous. We ate there twice in a week and loved it both times. The people at the next table ordered a shish-ka-bob platter that looked fantastic and was quite large (I think $11). The salad was also large but only fair. The feta cheese in the salad was ordinary and tasteless.\r

The restaurant itself is nothing to rave about. It's outdoor seating in a tent-like structure. You're protected from the rain and sun but that's it. Don't let that stop you from going there. You'll also probably have to find street parking, but that wasn't very difficult.
Pros: Great food, cheap prices, generous portions
Cons: Ambiance, street parking
