Cold Appetizer- Baba Ghanouge- $4.50
Mashed grilled eggplant, fresh garlic and lemon with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. Very good. It came with pita bread that I think they make there in the restaurant or the bakery attached to it. The pita bread was warm and moist.
Cold Appetizer- Grape Leaves- $4.95
Stuffed with rice. Very good.
Platter- Chicken Shawarma, rice, pita bread, choice of side (lentil soup)- $10.95
Chicken- Not so good. A bit dry and bland.
Rice- good, but just plain long grain ethnic rice. The rice and chicken could have used some more flavoring. The dish was only rice and chicken. No vegetables at all which I would have liked. Given a large helping of rice.
Lentil Soup- choice of side, soup of the day- Very good. Spiced with curry.
Pita bread- Very good. Freshly made and warm. Only given a half of a piece though.
Service- It seemed only one lady was doing everything; cooking and serving. She forgot to bring out a hot tea that was ordered. She forgot to bring us out our pita bread that came with the platters.
Men's bathroom- Out of paper towels to dry hands so had to use toilet paper to dry my hands. Out of soap in the soap dispenser. Sink is held up with pieces of wood. Tile piece tore off the wall. A gob of toilet paper is stuck to the ceiling that somebody threw up there when it was wet and it has since dried.
This place used to be called Lazeeza and it has just recently (August 2011) changed it's name to Silwadi. read more
