Description

The simple setting -- a few tables and chairs set among tidy, well-stocked shelves full of enticing imported delicacies -- belies the sophistication of the Mediterranean cooking at this spot. For the first-time visitor, the sampler platter is a must; it includes excellent versions of familiar dishes, such as falafel, hummus, and spanakopita, and more unusual ones, such as olivieh (Persian chicken salad), kotlet (meatballs), and the beguiling kookoo sabzi (like a frittata full of chopped parsley and dill). The kitchen bakes its own pastries and can make up trays for parties of any size.
