Zankou Chicken, Pasadena
Rotisserie chicken and Tri-tip shawarma plate from Zankou Chicken. Haven’t had the beef, since we usually have the chicken. Their famed garlic sauce/paste is something that you must ask for. Make sure you ask for it!!! The tahni sauce is also really good, as is the hummus and pita. If you haven’t gone to zankou. You gotta go. . . . .

Halal Guys, New York
Combo Platter of chicken and beef at the Halal Guys before the sauce. White sauce is decadent and the red sauce is just a bit too spicy. Lunch on the streets of New York City. . . .

Bavel, Downtown LA
Wonderful dinner at Bavel, sister restaurant of Bestia. Unexpectedly refreshing Middle Eastern cuisine that we usually don’t have. We had foie gras halva and olives to start. Then we had my favorite - the Malawach flat bread. The grilled oyster mushrooms and grilled octopus was yummy. I want to reproduce the mushrooms at home, seriously. And finished off with the grilled lamb saddle chop - never had that before. Yum! Can’t wait to visit again. . .
