    As an Albany Park resident surrounded by Middle Eastern restaurants, I feel like I’m qualified to say this is some of the best Middle Eastern food I’ve ever had.

    The front window display “art galley” reminds me of the old Pravda Records storefront when it was next to Metro. Does anyone remember that place?

    Tacos and sushi are both on the menu, which makes it some sort of nouveau diner. Strange but it works -- and it’s actually pretty good.

    You could make a meal out of dumplings here. In fact, I'd recommend it.
