You could go all in on Maryland-crab hummus, smoked pumpkin baba ganoush, big barbecued lamb kabobs, and puffy, blistered pita. But please, let the chef riff; the tasting menu here is insane. If you have time to burn before or after dinner, drop into the restaurant’s sister lounge next door, where they do drinks and dessert only. Get the labneh soft serve, which comes drizzled in Palestinian olive oil and pomegranate molasses.
