At this brightly hospitable neighborhood charmer, find an exploration of contemporary cuisine that pulls in influences from the Mediterranean, North Africa and Middle East. The menu leads with mezze, featuring top-notch versions of familiar staples like hummus, babaganoush and falafel, paired with fluffy wood-fired whole-grain pita made from heritage wheat. Dinner offers more substantial fare, as in savory tagines with eggplant or chicken. The cooking is vegetable forward and accommodates dietary restrictions (there's even a gluten-free pita option). There are no gimmicks here, just thoughtful, full-flavored dishes made with high quality ingredients and a bit of extra style.
