If you haven't tried it, you need to... Nothing like a mango smoothie, fresh pita bread dipped in hummus, fatoosh salad, and some shwarma, ghallaba, or a shish tawook sandwich...
.
i have come to the conclusion that if a place serves "shwarma" instead of "shoarma" its not gonna be very good
but if you can find one that serves "shoarma" man, you are in for a treat
(rant over)
as for finding authentic european food
ive given up
even if my mom sends me recipes, and i follow them to a T, i wont be right
the meat tastes different (and it is a real pain to find a butcher that sells a good cut of horse, but thats a whole nother story) simply because it is raised different
the wheat here tastes different then back home because of the soil content it grows on
add it all up, you never get something to taste "right"
