I stopped by and got a sampler meal to-go. (Please forgive any misspellings.) It had kalanchi (stuffed grape leaves), koofta (lamb meatballs with a covering of more lamb and cracked wheat), lahmajoon, cheese berag (I think that's the right name) lots of buttery pilaf, and a cold grilled eggplant salad. YUMMMMMY! The kooftah was my favorite. The meal cost $8.15, but it was enough for my lunch and dinner.

I called when I had questions about the koofta, and the owner chatted with me for about 20 minutes. Now *that* is the type of business I like to support. He went into detail about how the foods are made, gave me some personal history, and even invited me to come by and meet in person. I like that "small town" feeling.

For dessert I got two "sigarettes" which are flaky dough rolled with walnuts in the middle, and really should be called "cigars" if we're going by size.

They also sell some foods, and I did see lavosh and peda bread.    [07 Nov 2006 22:44:26]

A meal and a show all in one
Great food. Not the fastest service, but they are entertaining. Definitely a place where the regulars are treated as such, they often serve themselves and have dishes named after them.    [08 Dec 2006 22:22:00]
