Kamal’s Kafe strives to replicate the feel of a Mediterranean eatery with its burnt orange walls, spacious dining area, and menu of herb- and spice-infused Lebanese cuisine. The cooks shave beef and lamb off revolving gyro cones before loading the lean slices into pita bread along with dabs of tahini sauce. At the grills, they roast tilapia and shrimp kebabs and broil marinated chicken in fragrant wine sauce. They can also load platters with such vegetarian classics as hummus and homemade falafel.

Although the dining room houses more than 10 tables draped with blue-green vinyl tablecloths, Kamal’s Kafe can also seat guests outdoors on its covered patio. The patio’s ceiling fans help to ward off territorial helicopters and circulate fresh air throughout the space.
