ahhh...social media finds...

Most of the time Social Media is not the best thing, but sometimes it can reveal some hidden gems. I caught a clip on IG of a local Palestinian spot in SJ...at least that's what the short vid claimed. I was intrigued...I'm not familiar with Palestinian food. I had to give it a try. Apparently this is their second location, there is another is in Walnut Creek.

I'm familiar with the location of this venue. Former home to Sultan Bakery, which I did not find impressive...regardless of the high ratings. Parking is challenging in that area, luckily I snagged a spot on the street in front of the restaurant. There is a decent amount of seating inside and an outdoor seating area as well. Bright, Clean and inviting, they definitely redid the interior.

#MediterraneanEats:

~ MANAKISH FLATBREADS:

• Lahn-bajin - 4/5 I wasn't so sure what was classified as a Flatbread, looks like a pizza to me. But you'll understand when you bite into it. It's different, almost like a think crust NY pizza. A good amount of beef in it, heartier and heavier that it looks.

~ FATTEH BOWLS:

• Chicken Shwarma (w/ Half and Half) - 4/5 A good size bowl. We opted for the Half and Half option...best of both worlds; Salad & Rice. Talk about generous portions! The Bowl had a good amount of food, Juicy flavorful Chicken with Creamy Humus...delish!

~ DESSERT:

• Cheese Kanafeh - 4/5 I was a bit bummed out they didn't have Ice Cream. This would have been amazing with some Ice Cream...not that it wasn't already brilliant! It would transcend to the next level.

I originally wanted a Falafel bowl, but they were out of Falafels. Oh well, next time! Very satisfied with the food we ordered, now I'll just need to come back and try the rest of menu.
