There are swisher Lebanese restaurants around, but for a no-frills delicious feed at a very fair price, it's hard to beat this old family-run favourite. The set meal at $30 a head is a bargain; just don't fill up too much on bread and dips or you won't manage the Turkish delight at the end. BYO with no corkage.
