Med Kitchen is excellent Lebanese food. The portions are large so you will have leftovers for lunch the next day. Their garlic salad dressing is locally famous. You'd better like garlic if you come here. Try the lamb shish kabob, and the babaganoush appetizer. The background music may just compel you to get up and bust some bellydance moves.
