Warren, and I took my co-worker Mary out for some Lebanese food up north near Kimball. Unfortunately the restaurant we wanted to go to use our Groupon wasn't taking reservations. So we randomly picked an appealing nearby restaurant.
What struck my eye initially was the table of eight Muslin women sitting near the front window, dressed head-to-toe in colorful silk hajab's. Nothing says authentic Middle-Eastern more than a group of women feasting in centuries old traditional garb.
It was truly authentic and delicious. Although the restaurant wasn't where we planned to dine I'm pleased we picked it. If i can choose between a restaurant that is wise in advertising (groupon) vs. one with authentic tasting food- I will pick the road less traveled. Al-Khymieh was a hidden BYOB gem and we'll be back. Happy Birthday Mary!
