I'm not in a convenient position to link, do a search on Larsa east of Pita Inn on Dempster, Salam and Semiramis (sp?) to just begin. There is a concentration of middle eastern restaurants at Kedzie and Lawrence.
Regards,
Are any of them as value-riffic, or are they the typical $10 plate place? Kedzie & Lawrence is much closer to where I live - perhaps I'll drive around there sometime and collect menus.
Last night we had our Maiden Voyage to Pita Inn (skokie). I made a mistake of not checking out any threads first, and ordered the worst thing on the menu - beef shawarma. It wasn't terrible, but wasn't good, either. I ended up picking off of the plates of my family members, who ordered the combination plate, the lamb kabob, and the chicken tender sandwich. Delicious, all of them, especially the lamb kabob. My own plate, I wrapped up into a napkin and fed to my dog.
For the value and taste, it beats McDonald's ANY DAY!!!!!
Oh yeah, and the falafel was amazing!
So was the hummus... they poured some oil in the middle of the hummus plate that had a distinct olive flavor, which surprised me because I thought that olive oil wasn't supposed to have an olive flavor. Something I'm missing there?
Someone in the thread above me said something about a kids menu. I didn't see one and was wondering if they took it off the menu. My younger son is a bit picky (no, we don't know where he came from either).
