The chef, Ahmad Yasin, welcomes everyone. He is an affable fellow. With the open kitchen, we got to watch the entire process as he chops, blends and cooks the freshest ingredients. Nothing like dinner and a show!
We started with the house made Sharaab al Rawda -Pomegranate “drink of the garden” a tart, refreshing fruit beverage. It’s the kind of drink that makes you feel healthier as you sip it.
We shared two appetizers with Hubby’s friend – classic hummus and royal beet hummus. Both were incredibly smooth and flavorful. They were served with fresh pita bread.
We also got to try the Smoked Salmon Kibbeh – The chef’s specialty – with wheat, smoked salmon, spices, herbs, and extra virgin olive oil.
The entrees come with the Lemon-mint Drizzled Fatoosh Salad- The word Fatoosh derives from the Arabic root word “to crumble,” or small crunchy pieces of pita bread. It is a wonderful, healthy and refreshing salad with a light lemon-based dressing, romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, radish, fennel and hint of fresh mint.
I had the best stuffed grape leaves I’ve ever tasted! A mixture of lamb, rice and spices rolled into the grape leaves cooked in fresh lemon juice. Served with homemade yogurt.
As a thank you for helping out with the photo shoot, the chef gave us dessert – Kanafa: A classic Arab dessert in which “jubnah hulwah,” sweet white cheese is baked between two layers of shredded filo pastry, pistachios and orange flavored syrup. Baked to golden color and served warm. It was very light and the flavors danced on my tongue in an amazing cheesy, nutty, crunchy, fruity treat.
The place is open on Saturdays and Sundays 11 am – 8 pm by reservation only, and they only take cash or checks. There was easy parking on the wide street. He also caters, so I might be able to order for work sometime. My mouth has not been this happy in a long time!

I’m figuring out how to be in two places at once… Mom’s for her pills and lunch, and a memorial dedication for a friend’s young son who died in February. I think I told you about going to his funeral. So sad. Wonderful there will be a lasting, useful memorial to him.

Me too. I’m trying, have a good life, love what I do, My wife is good people and I’m pretty happy. Trying to be unselfish for kids and my wife has paid her dues but I’d give a lot for a soul healing hug and to spend a night being touched and loved by a woman who just wants to please me.

It’s Turkey week! Planning a drive to DC to scout housing and find a place. House we own just rented again. Military family. I need to rent it a few more years. Then sell both houses, buy a beach house in Fla and relax.
