Blink and you’ll miss this unassuming Lebanese eatery that caters to on-the-go individuals as well as those wishing to take a load off. A small takeout area serves up vegan pitas wrapping hummus, falafel, baba ghanouj and tabbouleh, plus plates of souvlaki, shish kebab and shawarma. The seating area is a tad pallid and dark but cozy all the same, owing to two cushioned pew-like seats that line each wall end to end. Mains $3.50–$7.99.
