text: nThis groceryslasheatery reminds me more of Cafe Istanbul in terms of its lighter traffic than that of HajiBabas eatery and market Some of the items on the shelves had a light blanket of dustnOrdered the beef kabob pcs platter with lettuce onions hummus and two pitas The kabobs were tasty even though they were slightly overdone in temperature Liked the pitas disliked the hummus I could not taste any flavors from the chickpeas tahini or spices Just that of an oil I could not even place its origin As I was finishing up the kabobs and pita I spied two young men enjoying their beef shawarmas so I ordered one togo Got into my car and could not wait to have a bite I should have gone with my first choice of beef shawarma this was a very tasty selection I would come back to order it againnnI also enjoyed a Lebanese baked dessert almost cakelike with two distinct layers slightly sweet cheese reminiscent of driedout ricotta and cream cheese on the bottom and goldenorange wheat semolina topped with crushed pistachios A side sauce dish of simple syrup accompanied the dessert I had asked the woman behind the counter two times what the dish was called and she did not sound too confident in telling me that she knew it as shmeer It is the closest thing I could decipher Perhaps shmeed might be a better word can anyone help me The ff is the closest image I found to what I think I had If so then my dessert was missing the ashtar topping a type of clotted cream pictured below The dessert I bought does not even come close to approaching the wow factor of this links image KanefeKnefehnnhttpgrabyourforkblogspotcomrabeihsweetspunchbowlhtml
