In the afternoon of the third day in LA, we decided to partake of one of the many middle eastern restaurants in LA's "little Tehran". Shawn highly recommended doing a lunch of various "mezzes" (small plates) in lieu of ordering a single entree each. Sunnin, a well loved Lebanese cafe, is well known for their mezzes.
We stuffed ourselves silly on fried cauliflower served with tahini; fried rolls of cheese,spinach & mint; crispy falafel; fried beef meatballs with bulgar; fattoush (salad seasoned with zatar); babaganoush and of course hommus...accompanied by a basket of thin pita.
I usually have difficulties choosing a single item to eat most days, so I absolutely loved being able to sample a bit of everything. I only wish there were more of us at lunch so that we could have ordered a few more different dishes!
