This tiny, incense-infused hideout emits a subtle spunkiness thanks to the ornate Egyptian-inspired furniture coupled with wood panelling, carpeted floors and a pharaoh glaring from the cash register. Middle Eastern staples such as falafel plates, filet mignon and chicken breast skewers, shawarma and fried eggplant with hummus lead up to cauliflower, tabbouleh and meat pie sandwiches—all offered at wallet-friendly prices. Mains $6–$10.
