Beit Rima

Update Dec 15: Finally managed to place an order. Ordered the hand bread. Got 4 pieces of pita instead. Not Samir's Hand Kneaded Bread at all. My friends and family are starting to believe that it doesn't exist. The struggle is real. First the pandemic, now the hand bread too? -- Every time I try to order from here, they close as I'm trying to order. All of my friends I know I want the hand bread. I haven't been able to get it in months because they're never open.

Oh. My. God. My husband and I happened to cross this place by accident, and since we were hungry for a late lunch we stopped by. They had outdoor seating, FYI. Everything we ordered was fantastic. There was this amazing delicata squash dish with a yummy yogurt sauce, fresh figs with cream, grilled halloumi cheese with green garlic and olive oil... And a small but filling beef kebab plate. There were lots of spices listed on the menu that I'd never heard of, which was fun. Luckily, we live nearby so we are going to be ordering delivery regularly from this place.

Wow. Just WOW. This place is everything I wanted it to be—comforting Arab dishes that are authentic and flavorful with fresh ingredients. We ate ourselves silly here and will definitely be back soon. Only issue is that they’re so busy at night you have to have time to wait, but no problem at all—they have tea and wine for while you’re waiting.
