re: Your favorite Greek/Lebanese dish?

Impossible for me to answer. Greek is my favorite type of food and then on top of that I love everything equally. Definitely, try the lamb shanks, mousaka, any pastas you see, maybe the fish, obviously the salads(if you find a place that serves an array of olives you are on), and the dips: hummus, baba ganoush(sp?), and Grecian. Obviously the chicken and gyro are good as well. Ohhhh and kibbi and the cheese appetizer, houlam I believe.

i dont know that its my absolute favorite - but its up there as one i could eat day to day without getting bored or unsatisfied.

a nice range of lighter fare, to heavier items. good fresh bright flavors, and still having hearty options. very few dishes that i dont enjoy short of them being prepared incorrectly, and the seasonings as a jumping off point are all welcome for my tastebuds.

Leftover gyro meat and lemon-roasted potatoes make an awesome fritata the next morning.

Greek- Moussaka(with lamb of course)- A lot of greek restaurants in Louisiana serve their moussaka with ground beef...not nearly as good IMO.

Turkish- Cigar Borek - I think one of my favorite things in the world. Serve it with fresh hummus as an appetizer and I'm in heaven.
