The lamb ribs are the house call

Ask the house what to order and the answer is the lamb ribs — five seasoned ribs with two sides of your choice. The rest of the halal platter list stays on the skewer: lahim meshwi filet mignon, shish tawok chicken breast, shish kafta ground meat worked with onions, parsley and Arabic spices, grilled lamb skewers, or the trio that puts beef, chicken and kafta on one plate. Sides run from Arabic and lentil rice to tabbouli, fattoush, fried yuca and the dips. Weekday lunch has its own deal: Monday to Friday, noon to 3:30pm, a beef, chicken or kafta skewer plate with two sides for $15 to $17.
