• Lebanese • East Village
This casual Lebanese spot in the East Village does their cooking over charcoal. Expect classic mezze like baba ghanoush and muhammara, shawarma wraps with sumac fries, and larger plates like whole dover sole in a harissa and date molasses sauce. Also of note: they’re open all day, and their espresso drinks are only $2.

    The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The decor is equally beautiful. The Waitress (Mira) was very helpful in describing the dishes, and we had a long personal conversation with her. One of my favorite restaurants!

    An East Village neighborhood gem; and it's the size of a gem; but the food is quite good with plenty on the plate. Prices are reasonable. Give it a try.
