It's lively and jubilant, with roots in Jerusalem, but a kosher restaurant this is not. The menu plays hits of the Fertile Crescent, a mouth-watering mix of Arab and Mediterranean ingredients (oxtail, fried eggplant, Yemeni bread, kubenia) delivered to the table one glorious mezze plate at a time. Clouds of labneh may be spoon-fed to you at the hostess stand; ask for desert, and perhaps a dollop of everything will appear in a wonderful mess at your seat at the bar. There's no telling what will happen here, but you can be sure to have an incredible, un-forgetful meal.
