Needless to say, it became the favourite restaurant for me and my husband. A light lunch over there is about the same price as thoroughly unimaginative, sprayed-with-artificial flavour and without-inspiration stuff you find at McD's... not so hard to make a choice. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the pictures, it brought back a lot of good memories for us.CraftyPretenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13408884030378097713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-84609564837378765482008-02-01T14:53:00.000-08:002008-02-01T14:53:00.000-08:00Nice description of Malouf's!<BR/>Sacramento has a relatively small Lebanese population, surprisingly. Malouf's is the only authentic all-Lebanese restaurant here and I wish that was not the case. However, I am very spoiled to have a sister-in-law that make amazing home cooked Lebanese cuisine true to Lebanon! <BR/>There are a few restaurants in the area started/owned by Lebanese that don't specialize in Lebanese cuisine -- I highly recommend The Kabob House (Greek food) on East Bidwell in Folsom*. Rocky, the owner, is a doll and the food is excellent! <BR/>(*Don't go to the Kabob House on Fulton Ave in Sac - current owner has taken an excellent thing and turned it sour - very sad and not what it used to be. Go to Folsom!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-36684997234379606372008-01-31T11:20:00.000-08:002008-01-31T11:20:00.000-08:00Yummmmm... the aish al saraiah sounds delicious!Christinewww.sacfoodies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-25890748297464390132008-01-30T21:45:00.000-08:002008-01-30T21:45:00.000-08:00Yes, Lebanese food is quite delicious and I had the pleasure being introduced to it by two of my customers.

I love love LOVE Lebanese food, and i love when people are introduced to it for the first time! I currently live in Florence, Italy, and there is even a Lebanese restaurant here--so it's becoming easier and easier to find it wherever you live.Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-75600089835494810502008-01-30T07:45:00.000-08:002008-01-30T07:45:00.000-08:00I live outside of NYC, so getting Lebanese food never presented a problem. I am also going to recommend a glance at the fabulous cookbook "Arabesque".<BR/><BR/>You can thank me later.layzbugshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16349605961526823887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-33731089376974436202008-01-29T22:43:00.000-08:002008-01-29T22:43:00.000-08:00Kyla - It's just something I never got around to having until a while ago. It's all very new to me still. Glad you like the blog! =)Garretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15794723829898024006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-83277273956104701232008-01-29T22:38:00.000-08:002008-01-29T22:38:00.000-08:00Wow - it's hard for me to imagine someone in a city (and who loves food) hasn't had a lot of experience with Lebanese food. I live in Halifax (NS, Canada) and we have tons of great Lebanese food. I think a lot of people moved here from Lebanon a long time ago, I can't imagine a city without tons of cheap Lebanese food though. Did they have Shish Taouk (or tawook)? It's usually chicken or beef skewers, I've never had it done badly, and it's usually amazing. <BR/>-Kyla <BR/>ps.
