The Review: Blue Plate Oysterette
Know something we don't?
Framed photos of Beirut and its shock of azure Mediterranean waters pop out from the otherwise bare cream walls at this authentic Lebanese/Armenian eatery. Rollicking Arabic music bounces off the faux-marble floors and echoes through the spartan dining room, which features only about a dozen tables. But the relatively empty feel of the space is by no means analogous to the way you’ll feel when you leave this shrine to garlic and spice: certifiably full. Lunch plates of succulent kebabs are piled high with rice pilaf, hummus, tabbouleh, and pita. At dinner, graze on appetizers like kufta (stuffed ground beef) or simmered frog legs before moving on to specialties like the ourfa kebab, ground beef and ground lamb alternated with eggplant and topped with raw onions and broiled tomato. You’ll need a breath freshener post-meal about as much as if you’d been to the notoriously garlicky Zankou Chicken just down Hill Ave. Though the Lebanese Kitchen does a brisk take-out business, it’s a cut above quick-service places like Pita! Pita!.
TIPS: A liquor license and plans for live entertainment are in the works. Until then, there’s no fee for BYOB.Did you know? You can share lists of your favorite places and events. Include Lebanese Kitchen in your list and it will be added to this page.
