Was having one of those nights where I wanted something different but also didn’t feel like going for a sit down meal. I remembered that there is a little Lebanese place about a mile down the street that does take away. I’d been in there before to snag a soda and I remembered that everything smelled awesome, so I figured I’d give it a swing. Off to the Cedar Cafe.
I ordered the lamb kebab sandwich, which was grilled lamb, tomatoes, lettuce & I think yogurt wrapped up in a pita bread, a little cheese pie and a little spinach pie. The sandwich was pretty good, the lamb was a tiny bit on the chewy side, but good. I think if I go again, I’ll try just a straight beef kebab.
I liked both the cheese & spinach pies – they’re both quite rich, so I could have easily gotten away with one or the other. The cheese pie is pastry dough with feta, mozzarella and parsley and then deep fried. The dough reminded me of empanadas. The spinach pie had spinach, pine nuts, onions, sumac & lemon juice. For some reason, I expected cheese in it, despite the fact that the description clearly states otherwise.
Pretty good, I’ll probably go again sometime.
