Opened in December 2004 and named for a famous restaurant in Lebanon, Chef Hanan Najjar's sunny white-tablecloth Middle Eastern turns out a wide range of dishes, including hummus, kibbeh, falafel, lamb, seafood and many vegetarian options. Groups may want to try the flaming tower, a rack of a dozen different kebabs. A belly dancer writhes here on Friday and Saturday nights, and hookahs are available.
