I ordered the red lentil soup. Lentils are one of my childhood favorites. I find it amazing how each region around the world can take the same ingredient, add their own distinct flavors and present a fabulous dish. The chicken kebabs and falafel came next. I didn’t know what falafel was. So I tried it. Ground chickpeas seasoned and deep fried. They were very good.
