Desserts top off a meal. But, in this case, sweets come first, or rather, "the" sweet.
The knefe is one of the reasons why the Arabia is the best Arab restaurant in town. The crunchy vermicelli pastry, with fresh cream and pistachio, contrasts textures and flavors in a way rarely seen in Lebanese confectionary.
But don't go straight to the dessert. The lamb michui will make you forget any other kebab in the city.
If you're looking for originality, go on a Wednesday and have artichoke hearts filled with beef and snoubar (or pine kernels), covered in a curd and dried mint sauce.
