The eclectic decor of wooden hot air balloons hanging from the ceiling, large art deco posters on the walls, fresh flowers in small glass vases along with salt and pepper shakers in silver saucers on each table add charm to the room. A large refrigerated case at the end of the room highlights the many salads available for take out. All grilled specials are served over a bed of rice pilaf and come with a Greek salad. Deli specialties were attractively displayed in a refrigerated case with mini pumpkins and squashes. On this day, there were hummus, taboule, baked lima beans, lentil salad and quiche.
Selections change daily.
I began my meal with a cup of wonderful lentil soup, served with wedges of Middle East bread. The rich full flavored broth with the taste of fresh herbs, cumin and red pepper was enchanting. Slices of carrot, zucchini, celery and onion along with the tender baby lentils was a delightful mix. Our sandwich wraps were large and the waitress warned us not to unwrap the foil too quickly or the whole sandwich would fall apart. The marinated sliced steak was extremely flavorful.
