Foodies brave crosstown traffic for the authentic Lebanese meze, tabbouleh, and grilled and stuffed meats at this quirky cash-only neighborhood joint in Olympia. One-woman-show and owner Marcelle Daou does most of the cooking and runs the place like home. An £18 spread includes hummus, grilled eggplant, fried potato, falafel, fatoush salad, stuffed lamb, and pita bread—not forgetting mint tea and baklava. Overall it's top value, and unpretentious.
