The laid-back Ali Baba Grill cooks up the usual Middle Eastern favorites,
but the difference here is that these dishes are absolutely packed with
flavor. Creamy, smooth hummus carries a fresh lemon-juice-and-garlic
punch, and the baba ghanouj contains eggplant that's been roasted until
it's nearly caramelized, so that the dip has a deep, sweet quality. The
just-made tabbouleh is always tip-top fresh; the kabobs are charbroiled,
giving the meats that crunchy edge of extra flavor; and the chicken
shawarma is coated in a garlic paste before it's rotisserie-broiled. Save
room for dessert: The housemade baklava and a cup of freshly brewed mint
tea make for a relaxing finale.
