What's for lunch and Restaurant Reviews thread...

Wanted to post this yesterday, but just got the DNS address thing to work. I went to Mona's on Frenchman for the first time. I thought it was pretty good. I'm not much for middle eastern cuisine, but my youngest brother who used to live in the UAE told me it would be worth checking out (eaux-yeah had also previously recommended it).

I had the chicken kabobs (cubed, grilled chicken breast marinated in tumeric (or whatever turns that stuff yellow) that came with a marinated salad, an order of basmati rice with saffron and a glass of Lebanese Tea. Everything was pretty good there, and the entree came with some fresh hummus (or whatever pulverized chick peas are) for dipping. The ambiance was pretty cool, and the food was good. Only one chunk of my chicken was slightly undercooked and still a little pink (though not as pink as the grilled chicken sandwich I had at Roosters last friday that was raw, I sent it back, and it still came back raw).

I rate Monas 2 beans (out of 5) and $$. The Lebanese tea, however, was 4 beans and comes topped with pine nuts. It was very sweet yet very refreshing. :9:
