Last Wednesday, HotFudge and I looked at a few furniture places in PB and a few boutique shops. For lunch, she suggested a Lebanese place off of University and Alabama Street in North Park.
The place is: Mama's Bakery; here's another review . You order in this tiny storefront then you can wait out front or by the side where there is a VERY GREEN PATIO. It's pretty cheap and from what I remember, our orders were about $3.99 each.
Dammit, I tried a different layout of photos and I couldn't delete one without deleting all and starting over again. So, pardon that big blank white space you see above...Sheeyit. Anyways, below is part of the green patio and above as well. You can see the window where you pick up your food. That's HotFudge's orange shirt by the way. She ordered some (free) extra sides of garlic paste (oh my God, that stuff was STRONG!) and tahini sauce (ground sesame paste).
We both ordered meat pies. Kind of like a Lebanese calzone but made with Lebanese flatbread baked in a sajj (oven). Mine had ground beef and spinach. HotFudge's meat pie had ground beef, feta cheese and spinach. There were a few tomatoes in there as well.
I had ordered a beef wrap along with the meat pie. I was intending to save 90% of it for Bert. The meat pie was very flavorful; I enjoyed the filling very much although I only ate some of the bread wrapper. You can see the tiny cup filled with garlic paste. I almost ate all of it and regretted it later. Garlic breath is hard to get rid of!

Remember when I chomped on that raw garlic? Pretty potent stuff. Remind me to pick up the garlic pills sometime.
Next time when you go with Bert and TC I would recommend the Meat Combo Plate; it's plenty enough for the 3 of you.
Bert, I know that you have
cut-down on red meat but this is worth the trip.
