Chicago Middle Eastern Restaurants
Dined this evening with bseller and ElmhurstNick at Al-Khayameih.
TONS of GREAT TASTING food for $56 bucks total (not including tip)
Starters:
Baba Ghanouj had a great smokey flavor
Kibbie was the only so-so dish IMO
Entrees:
We split the Shawarma Combo and the Shish Kabab Combo
The Shish Kabob Combo consisted of beef & chicken kababs as well as kofta (ground lamb). The beef was OUTSTANDING!!
The Shawarma Combo consisted of beef & chicken shwarma, I preferred the beef.
Two condiments, Tahini sauce and a crushed garlic paste were served along with the meats. The crushed garlic sauce rocked ^ ^
As kind of a palate cleanser, the yogurt salad was ordered consisting of chopped cucumber, yogurt, w/a touch of mint.
This was great tasting food!!
