Riyadh's Lebanese Restaurant
20170402:
After eating some donuts, Ada and I were ready for dinner. We decided to eat at Riyadh's Lebanese Restaurant.
Menu Description:
lamb over basmati rice sliced, seasoned and grilled lamb and vegetables served over basmati rice. $9.50
After the salad, the first dish I tried was the lamb. It tasted good.
When the falafels arrived, I had some doubt about eating them. I recall being unable to eat falafels from past experience. Thankfully I was right. Falafels contain garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, which are extremely displeasing to my palate (as most legumes are).
Menu Description:
charboiled kabobs > kafta kabob mezza charboiled kafta (kafta is made of ground beef with minced parsley, onions, cilantro and special spices) patty served with hummus, baba ghanooj, tabbouli, falafels, pocket bread, and tahini sauce. $9.50
In any case, I liked the kafta.
Menu Description:
side orders > chicken kabob skewers $3.50
The chicken was also good, but charred in some places, and I'm not a fan of overly charred food.
The kafta had some good spices, but I was close to full, and we got the leftovers to go.
