- Middle Eastern
Eastern Mediterranean and Levantine cooking in Westville, tagged Middle Eastern by CTbites. Order the foule (stewed fava beans), the lamb merguez served over tahini, and the lahmbajeen, a thin spiced-meat flatbread; za'atar runs across the menu. The Levantine focus keeps it distinct from the Greek and Turkish rooms on the Mediterranean list, and the Whalley Avenue address plants it in the heart of the Westville dining stretch.

- Chicken Wings
Rawa brings a Mediterranean angle to the wing, and the CTbites guide highlights its oven-roasted wings tossed in a fiery house spice blend rather than the usual fried-and-sauced approach. The method gives them a drier, more seasoned crust than a buffalo wing, closer to a roasted-meat preparation. It is a good pick when you want wings that taste of spice and char instead of vinegar and butter; get them with a garlic sauce on the side.
