In Short
This Sherman Oaks institution has slowly expanded in its mini-mall location over the past two decades. Hungry customers pack the main dining room, which with its inexpensive wood-surfaced tables and almond-shaped doorways, feels like an upscale Lebanese coffee shop. The food is anything but ordinary: Hummus, kabobs, and shawarma have consistently drawn raves, and lots of repeat business. The chef also serves Lebanese specialties such as makanek sausage sauteed with lemon juice.
Insider Tips
Save Time
The restaurant is almost always busy, so customers not prepared to wait should phone or fax in a take-out order.
When to Go
The restaurant features a standard rotation of daily specials, which means that the okra leaf stew known as mlokia is only available on Mondays, and half a chicken stuffed with rice, meats and nuts can be had on Fridays.
