Adriana’s Kitchen

Recently opened and reminded me a lot of the small, simple cafes you find overseas. Neat, clean and organized with good, freshly-​prepared local fare where small groups of regulars congregate for coffee, to socialize and have a meal. It’s a refreshing change, welcome to the neighborhood, :).
The menu is mainly of Lebanese selections but does offer things like a chicken chipotle/​mexican chicken sandwich (s), Caesar & Greek salads, fries, chicken/​beef fajitas, veggie stir fry, chicken wing/​tender appetizers … but I was there for the Lebanese. Took advantage of a coupon special and ordered two sandwich combos … chicken shawarma and beef shawarma. Both sandwiches well made and prepared in a home-​style manner vs an assembly line. Delicious. The french fries that came with the sandwiches deserve noting … they were lightly seasoned with salt & pepper and appeared to be fresh cut on the premises vs frozen from a bag. I am not a french-​fry kind of guy, but these definitely won me over, :). Tawook, Kabobs and Salads (the traditional Fatoush & Tabouli), appetizers (hummus, kibbeh, falafel, grape leaves, baba ghanouj), juices, smoothies and more … all reasonably priced and made fresh.
The owner is very personable and sincere in providing the type of customer service that’ll bring ya’ back … mission accomplished … I’ll be taking a walk up there this morning after I type this for some of their fresh-​ground coffee and homemade baklava that I sampled during my visit yesterday … also homemade and not overpoweringly sweet as I often find baklava.
Limited parking, but don’t let that deter you. There is parking on the street to the east of the building Adriana’s shares with a party store and there is a lot behind the building also.
Yeah, I’m a fan, :).

Great Lebanese food! The owner is super friendly. I love their chicken shawarma sandwich, and they have the best baklava I’ve ever had!
