  1. A wood-fired oven anchors the open kitchen at this cozy, character-stuffed casual restaurant from the brothers behind Orfali Bros. The menu skips between Syria, Japan, France, and Spain without apology, landing on things like a wagyu cheeseburger in a Hokkaido bun or a pizza-pide hybrid with brown butter miso. Deep maroon walls, geometric floors, and vintage Arabic pop on the speakers give it a warm 1970s den feel. It holds a spot on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list.
