mizrahis is ace Israeli cuisine - their wraps are great. The mabucha is a red pepper purée and it’s very spicy, in a good way. So I like to get a wrap with a side of Mabucha and rice. Their French fries are good if you don’t want rice. Their hummus and baba ganoush and pita are really really great - it’s not like Sabra (supermarket) or like Roti (Mediterranean chain). I only started going to mizrahis around 2016. I used to over order because I wanted the above plus Israeli salad.
I love a specific recommendation, thank you! When we were in the city, we had a number of good Middle Eastern restaurants, including an Egyptian place that we really liked. Haven't found anything as good in the north suburbs so I'm looking forward to trying Mizrahis.
