New North Side Ethnic Restaurant

Yes, Italian and Lebanese.... I won't say the others because I don't want my identity to get out their too much; but yes I am each of those... I'm not so fond of the middle eastern cuisine though, I love Italian food!

Update: Food is excellent!

We had lamb sandwiches with garlic sauce... but they also offer them with a pepper sauce.
We tried an appetizer combo that included tabbouleh, falafel, and hummus.
It comes with both pita bread and the  bread that they also use for their sandwiches.

The grape leaf rolls are made with fresh leaves and are excellent.... comparable to  the best I've ever had -- which is homemade.

Before eating there I had never cared for falafel... considered them to be a very bland Mediterranean hushpuppy. 
My opinion has changed. Very good! The sauce that came with the falafel was an explosion of flavor. They could sell it on its own.

For YtownNewsandViews -
I thought you said you are of Italian descent in the pizza thread?  ... I guess you have a bit of Lebanese heritage too?

Anyway - after your negative comments about Tomasino's "garlic filled" pizza, I'd say... avoid the garlic sauce... It was FANTASTIC and very GARLICKY.  This place might be too flavor intense for you.

We will definitely be regulars. It is a  short 7-11 hike from the Westside. They offer carry-out and take credit cards.

Wishing them much success and good fortune.

I've gotta try their Spinach Pies. I use to get them from a Lebanese Bakery when I lived on the East Side and they were really good.
