Castle Restaurant — Restaurant in Memphis

I must say I learned to make my own middle-eastern cuisine from my best friend in high school. He was Syrian and his Mom shared her culinary delights and recipes. Not sure if it is because Nada has left, but the food is not good anymore.

The hummus was too lemony, and was not anything to rave about. It seemed like it was thrown together. In fact, Kroger sells hummus which is better.

The baba ghanoush could have been good. I like the fact they gave it a sprinkling of ground sumac, but it was inedible due to the outrageously high salt content. Yes, baba ghanoush should be salty, and I like salt, but that was a huge disappointment.
