On Spot @ Eastern Gate

I've already established how strong my love for Lebanese cuisine is, and that's justified seeing as I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. And considering that love for Lebanese cuisine, last night my parents decided to take me to a new restaurant they'd discovered. That was probably the best decision of the day!
My sister kept voicing her evident doubts on taking me there, since they'd only there once and she wasn't sure about their quality control. But after one small taste of the food, I didn't know why she was so unsure about it. The food was perfect.
My Mom had a great time picking out items from the menu. First, we couldn't decide whether how to order the mixed grill as there were 9 people with huge appetites, then we couldn't stop laughing because there was a dish named "Maryia" (pronounced like "Maria") and then my sister couldn't figure out whether to order the Chicken Elizabeth or the Chicken Breast Fillet - there were obvious puns there.
Here's what came to out table...

The Famous Lebanese Mixed Grill

The Maryia

 Maryia, we came to know, was a classic flat-bread stuffed with garlic minced meat. It was light, crisp and delicious.

Chicken Elizabeth

Athena's Fish

Kofta Tagine with Tahini

Everything was great. But the Kofta Tagine was probably the best! My Mom later told me that 'tagine' means that the dish has a gravy. This Kofta Tagine was meat kebabs in a tahini gravy. 'Tahini' is a sauce made from sesame seeds. The whole dish was perfect, I couldn't stop eating and I did NOT want to share this one!

So here's the scores:

Ambiance: 4/5 (The waiters were dressed in traditional Lebanese clothes & they had a fountain in the middle of the restaurant!)
Presentation: 3.5/5

Serving Size: 4/5

Taste: 4.5/5

Overall: 3.5/5

To top off a great evening, there must be ice-cream. And when people say ice-cream, all I hear is Baskin Robbins. Do stop by and try their Flavor of the Month "Sugar 'n' Spice".

Always a delight!
