In Short
Scores of hospital workers and visitors, downtown professionals and passersby have made this a Lakewood favorite. Brightly-painted Mediterranean ceiling adornments, abundant window-gazing angles and prompt service add cheer. All natural, unique Lebanese delectables jam an exhaustive menu: Mujadara weds snappy raw veggies with lentils, rice and toasted onions; Mediterranean beef kafta comes topped with pine nuts, almonds and tahini, and Farah's Favorite Pit-za features curried chicken, sweet green peas and toasted onion. The raw juice and dessert selection--including the famous double-fudge chocolate cake--is also notable.
