We could live on bread alone at this Lebanese dining room, whether the hot-from-the-oven pita; the spinach, cheese, and meat pies; or the Palestinian-style msakhan, cylinders of dough filled with sumac-scented chicken. Kebabs and koftas are winning, too, whether heaped on rice platters or tucked into wraps.
Also good: Mezze platter; beef shawarma; ground-lamb-and-beef kebabs; pistachio baklava.
