Best falafal pitas in the city....Fresh. Tasty. And super super cheap.
Friendly service; if Nilufar herself is behind the counter, you get to meet the legend that keeps this place going! She's on a first name basis with half the city and will somehow even remember your order if you're a regular :)
Make sure you share to share the garlic potatoes with your significant other or else one of you is doomed...lol

Also known as the No Name Bar, this beautiful speakeasy has no sign on the outside. Staff in fancy tuxes (no worries, there's dress code for customers), but the atmosphere is laid-back. Cocktails are pricey so you might want to order something simple off the menu if you don't want to blow the bank. Ambiance: something out of a modern remake of Casablanca...
