Type: Restaurant
Regulations: Dogs allowed on-leash outside; several tables with umbrellas are available.
Description: This is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with authentic, flavorful Middle Eastern dishes and friendly staff. Specialties include falafal, schwarma, soups, pita sandwiches, salads and appetizers. You can't go wrong with their fluffy pitas, and their vegetarian items and combo plates are my favorites. You order inside at the counter, and your food will be brought out to you. Although there are only a few tables with umbrellas outside, I've always been able to get a table because most people prefer to sit inside. There's plenty of room for your dog to stretch out near the tables outside. This place is often not crowded and it's a great, quiet place to stop after a walk around the lake. Items pictured above are a free appetizer of pita strips with cabbage and sesame sauce, the hummus combo ($6.95) and baklava ($3.25).
