Courtney ORourke: The most amazing Lebanese food I've tasted. Try the jalapeño hummus, and the spicy garlic shrimp. Incredible flavors.
Courtney ORourke: My favorite!. I visit every time I'm here in the city. Fattouch, spicy shrimp, spicy hummus, schwarma. Don't let the waiter take away spicy shrimp bowl until you've soaked up every drop with the pita.
