Plan 'B' Leads Us to Filfillah Mediterranean Restaurant ... Which Was Great!!
We were going to try out the new Olive & Lamb last night but it seems to be somewhat delayed. Looks like they may be just about ready for steady business shortly- we’ll check back. Since Olive & Lamb is in one of my cousin’s neighborhoods, we planned to try it out together. So, time for 'Plan B.'
...turns out she’s never dined at Filfillah Middle Eastern Restaurant (one of our favorites)
because she lives closer to Holy Land...I go there when I want to shop
& eat. Off to Filfillah—-they finished their remodel fairly recently—time to check it out. Ah, order at the counter now. We can handle that—-well, I was the
designated order placer, so I ordered kind
Filfillah Mazza Platter
Mazza plattter, meze plate, so many
names—-Filfillah’s is so good: dolma, baba ghanouj (spell it your way),
hummus, tons of Kalamata olives, falafel, tabouleh, a plate of rice,
house-baked Turkish bread, sauces (cucumber, tahini), & a big pile
of Feta. This platter alone might have been enough for all of us with 1 more Turkish bread. But we had to taste our way through a lot more.
Filfillah Chicken Shawarma
BK had the
chicken shawarma sandwich with fries. It arrived on a whole Turkish
bread—enough to tear off pieces to scoop up more hummus or smokey
eggplant!!! (At the end, probably 3/4 of the sandwich went to BK’s
house—-she just said she was having it for lunch today—-another whole
meal!!). It’s topped with potatoes, pickles & garlic sauce—we held
the pickles—John was already getting a heap o’ pickles on his plate.
Chicken Kofta Wrap
John opted for the chicken kofta as a wrap. The chicken kofta is so
good (John ‘allowed’ me have a piece sliced off the end—so delish). The
kofta is grilled and topped with tomatoes, onions & garlic sauce.
He made it farther—he was able to eat 1/2 of the wrap.
Filfillah Veggie Pita Pie
I’m a big
fan of the pita pies—-I chose veggie this time (but I’ve eaten all of
them—-no losers in the whole group). I made it through almost 1/2 of my
pie—think of this like a pizza loaded with veggies and tons of gooey
cheese—-on light, perfect ‘bread’ as the crust. Any extra piece of
crust can also be used to dip into the big pile of hummus & its pond
of excellent olive oil.
Filfillah ... Totally Delish!
BK pronounced the whole thing delicious. We never know which is our favorite—it’s all so good.
If you haven’t been to Filfillah, check it out. Consistently good meals and a friendly staff.
