I went to a Mediterranean restaurant with a friend to try a place neither of us had been to and to take some food photos. I brought with me the small yet dependable Pentax Optio WG-II camera for some video and photos.

Here's a copy of my food review:
I went to a Mediterranean restaurant with a friend to try a place neither of us had been to and to take some food photos. I brought with me the small yet dependable Pentax Optio WG-II camera for some video and photos.
The restaurant was nice and simple with a few adornments that fit the theme.
We checked that out before going there to see what was on the menu and noticed the statement "All our meat is 100% Zabeha/Halal." That being unknown to me, I did a search on the Internet without much luck.
I had ordered the Beef Shawerma, although I did try the chicken Shawerma and Lamb Kabob. The Beef Shawerma was a nice dish that was mild and pleasant. I enjoyed it and had no qualms eating the entire portion. The fragrance of the dish was more noticeable, with what I assume to be the saffron rice as the main contributor. Out of everything I had tried, I think that the Lamb Kabob was the best tasting. If I do go back there in the future, I might try another dish or go with the lamb.
While a bit expensive, the portion was large and more than sufficient for a large guy such as myself.

A sweet multilayer pastry with honey and nuts. I've had this occasionally from another place in town. If you have never tried it, I suggest you do. Simple, yet very delicious (and labor intensive to make).

Lamb Shish Kabob
"Charcoal grilled cubes of marinated tender lamb."
Sahara Special Plate
