Middle Eastern, Turkish, Mediterranean. Shawarma & other regional dishes served in sleek, modern surroundings with Bring your own booze. There's a liquor store next door. I love the laid back atmosphere and the free parking in the lot. The food is good and the portions are generous. Be mindful that in Hyde Park and most popular neighborhoods do not leave your car in the lot and got to stores outside the lot. It could be towed.
