Hunger, unlike ambulance sirens, meningitis, and restraining orders, is not something you can safely ignore. Answer the mighty call of a bellowing belly with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of Lebanese cuisine at Al-Amir Lebanese Restaurant, located in the historic Bishop’s House. This Groupon is not valid on December 31.
Al-Amir Lebanese Restaurant offers authentic tastes of traditional Middle Eastern cuisine in a setting that tactfully combines elegance and nonchalance like a tux-and-gown pool party. Place your pocket Ouija indicator atop the menu of items crafted from local ingredients, and wait for it to gravitate toward the kibbi sineeyé, a crispily baked bread pocket filled with ground lamb, beef, and parsley ($9). Alternatively, you can settle on the warak enab, which covers naked ground beef and basmati rice with grape leaves, and simmers the whole concoction in lemon, olive oil, garlic, and herbs ($8 appetizer, or $13 entree). Veggie eaters can sample an entree of batinjan, a pile of baked eggplant, potatoes, and tomatoes with sautéed garlic, onions, and tomato sauce ($13), while carinvarians can find meaty meaning in dajaj, a grilled and marinated chicken fillet ($17), or in kharouf mohammar, a slow-roasted, specially seasoned cut of lamb served with a side of cucumber yogurt sauce ($18).
A full-service bar whets the palate, with favorites like the Lebanese margarita, Almaza beer, and authentic Spanish coffee—which is served either cold or piping hot, just like fairytale porridge. On Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Al-Amir Lebanese Restaurant shakes with the mesmerizing wiggles of a belly dancer. Call to make a reservation, and enjoy a peaceful meal while surrounded by the restaurant’s stylishly exposed bricks, large art hangings, and copious amount of breathable oxygen.
