Middle Eastern
A Monroe Avenue Lebanese kitchen that CITY Magazine covered at its 2016 opening for fresh-baked manakeesh flatbread and pita pockets of shawarma, falafel, and kabob, with a 585 Magazine feature to follow. To order: the manakeesh or a shawarma pita.
Picks from CITY Magazine and 585 Magazine
Mediterranean
A Monroe Avenue Lebanese and Mediterranean spot that CITY Magazine covered at its 2016 opening for bread baked fresh to order, including manakeesh flatbread, and pita pockets of shawarma, falafel, and kabob; it has since placed as a Best Mediterranean runner-up in CITY's 2024 and 2025 reader polls and drawn a 585 Magazine feature. To order: the manakeesh flatbread.
Picks from CITY Magazine and 585 Magazine
Gyros
Cedar is a Lebanese and Mediterranean spot on Monroe Avenue that placed as a Best Mediterranean finalist in CITY Magazine's 2025 readers' poll. Bread is baked fresh to order, and the menu wraps shawarma, falafel, and kabob into pita. Its gyro plate fits the same made-to-order approach. Order the gyro plate, or a pita filled with freshly carved meat off the vertical spit.
