Both were super unique and I couldn't choose a favorite. Sumac to finish a cocktail? Wow. I could not possibly recommend Assanabel enough. The food here was exceptional. For starters, we got their tabbouleh, stuffed grape leaves, and the pita with cheese and peppers. We had the chicken shawarma for an entree - stellar. Tender, well-seasoned. Not a single complaint. Servers also spoke English and were welcoming and happy to accommodate. We squeezed in without a reservation, but there was only one other empty table. Best to call ahead or reserve online!

I was…read moresitting with my back to their central way and suddenly a knife hit the back of my head coming at a high speed. My skull was definitely impacted. I suspect the waitress dropped the knife as she was passing behind my back. She was non-apologetic and extremely aggressive and rude. Arguing that she did not know where the knife was coming from?! This should not have been her first reaction. I have to assume that somehow she lost the knife from a plate. She kept arguing with me when I pointed out that she should have shown some concerns and simply apologize. She initially did not. Eventually she came to her senses and finally somehow gave a fake apology. We left the premises without eating anything. The atmosphere was dark and kind of depressed. I have to assume that the owner must have been away. Quand le chat n'est pas la, les Souris dansent.

Call me a schmuck, but…read moreI did not know there was a location just fifteen minutes south and west of Glen Head in Garden City, NY. Five Fabulous Stars for: 1) Amazing Falafel, just so delicious and crispy on the outside and not pasty but perfect on the inside. Hot and fresh, they had a few in the bin but told me it would be a couple of minutes for the new ones. Love it! 2) Love the limitless topping bar with a bunch of great sauces and veggie toppings. The grilled cauliflower was DAYUMMM ( CJ in NY I am trying but only you have the true impact) as were the marinated chick peas. The green sauce Wowza! Fries were fantastic with a killer seasoning. 3) The hours are perfect for the jet lagged and up at 1:15 am ( Paris time which is 7:15 pm previous day in NY) folks with the gavone hunger pangs. Close at 2 am Thursday through Saturday. Open at 11 am daily. 4) Nice location right in the 5th district of Paris ( Latin Quarter) just south of the Siene river. Clean interior and COVID and mask compliant. 5) 2 fivers for a big ass falafel sandwich, plus a huge order of fries and a bottle of Perrier. No that's too French. Just regular agua. The employees are sweet and generous and kept piling on the toppings per my request,. Nine Euros( $ 10.20 approx) is a steal for this quality and quantity plus the excellent and generous service. Few seats inside. Just grab the two mega falafel sandwiches, walk a few yards and grab a seat next to me ( or 2 metres away ;) in this very cool district of Paris.

The only reason why Au Vieux Cèdre's bewitching Shawarma does not appear in the pages of "A…read moreMoveable Feast" is because the small Lebanese joint opened its doors more than half a century after Ernest Hemingway lived (and ate) literally around the corner... A stone throw away from La Place de la Contrescarpe, and Hemingway's apt at 74 Rue du Cardinal Lemoine (the place where Verlaine died as well), I can assure you that the voracious writer would have devoured many a shawarma, kastas or falafels, as these are indeed "moveable feasts" that you can savor on the go while on your Paris explorations, without being rattan chair bound elbow-to-elbow with other Parisians, as you surely will be (and should be) eventually. This little hole in the wall has indeed the best shawarma I've ever had in three continents, and it's a must have for those on literary pilgrimages in the area. Also try the Soujouk; squashy spicy beef with tomato and hummus. This was my favorite fast food spot while in my 3 month + Paris residency, and the perfect antebellum when sauntering the quaintness of the Rue Mouffetard. Now, for good measure, let me clear my throat *ahem* La seule raison pour laquelle Au Vieux Cèdre's enchantant Shawarma n'apparaît pas dans les pages du "A Moveable Feast"; est parce que le petit joint Libanais a ouvert ses portes davantage que le demi-siècle après qu'Ernest Hemingway ait vécu (et a mangé) littéralement autour le coin... Un jet en pierre à partir de La Place de la Contrescarpe, et Hemingway's convenable à 74 Rue du Cardinal Lemoine (l'endroit où Verlaine est mort aussi bien), je peux vous assurer que l'auteur vorace aurait dévoré des beaucoup un shawarma, des kastas ou des falafels, en tant que ces derniers suis en effet "moveable feasts" que vous pouvez savor sur vos explorations de Paris, sans être chaise de rotin liée coude-à-coude avec l'autre Parisians (comme vous sûrement et devriez être par la suite). Ce petit trou dans le mur a en effet le meilleur shawarma dans trois continents, et son un festin pour ceux sur des pélerinages littéraires dans le secteur. Essayez le Soujouk ; boeuf épicé mou et humide avec la tomate et hummus. Ma tache préférée en mes trois mois dans Paris, et parfait en allant au le Rue Mouffetard. No pun intended, but Pardon my French (in every way, really). But I'm just so fucking glad that Yelp has gone Paris!!?? C'est Cool!

I adore Lebanese cuisine so this was a real treat. It was authentic grub. We thought it was going to be a pick up spot but they have a ton of sitting in the restaurant.

I recommend getting the mixed grill. It was excellent with the preparation of kabobs and grilled chicken. It came with dips like hummus, yogurt mix, plus salad and bread on the side.

Most importantly, if you are craving traditional lebanese food this won't hit the spot. I got the hummus, which was very silky but lacked flavor. The fattoush which was awesome, probably my favorite. The beef kibbeh which I didn't like because it came with a sweet basil sauce that I just didn't understand. For the main we got the mixed grilled plate: chicken was nice and juicy, kebabs were flavorful but a bit dry. The star was the garlic sauce. So overall decent food, but extremely overpriced. I wish their flavors were more traditional.
