Description

Israeli chef George Rached (who is not the famed pro wrestler, but really does call himself "Gorgeous George") spends his days and nights in the kitchen of his shoebox restaurant, grilling up peppery lamb shawarma and pureeing hummus into the texture of thick custard. What he comes up with is the best hummus you'll find anywhere in the city, but this doesn't leave him too fatigued to occasionally serenade one of his regulars or walk the dining room to check in on his many guests. Dinner is priced upscale, but worth it, and there are some deals at lunch.
