Maza

Romantic yet unpretentious, this Lebanese favorite even has menu items for couples, including the wide-ranging Maza Deluxe, a tasting of hot and cold appetizers that includes marinated meats and stuffed grape leaves, and the fanciful Maza’s Signature Entree, which offers a stuffed crown of lamb, served flambé. For a more platonic and less pricey experience, go with baked kibbeh (a traditional ball of cracked wheat, stuffed with spiced sirloin) or a broiled kebob. Afterwards, try the hearty Lebanese coffee and a slice of gooey homemade baklava. Be warned, the place can get packed on the weekends.
