Its exterior is unassuming, but one step inside the hot spot and you'll be smitten by its lively vibe, warm hospitality and seductive aromas. Chef Zach Engel brings his experience to bear on this personal brand of modern Middle Eastern cuisine. His prix-fixe allows diners to make their own selections from a range of options. A generous first course kicks things off with a classic masabacha with chickpea hummus with tahini and a hint of spice. Even familiar favorites like lamb kebab el babor with navy beans, lamb bacon, escarole and harissa offer surprising depth. The team’s impressive intentionality extends to its beverage program, as esoteric wines from Armenia, Lebanon, Palestine and Israel tell their own stories and make for beautiful pairings.
