2Booli Fresh Mediterranean Eats

37610 W. 12 Mile Rd., Farmington Hills Detroit

(248) 994-0614

Middle East

For many diners, the lack of a liquor license is a deal-breaker. That proclivity can relegate most Middle Eastern spots to a lunchtime treat rather than an evening pleasure. Farmington Hills’ 2Booli addresses the problem with not only a full bar but a happy hour that lasts all evening long, Monday through Friday. Draughts are $2.50, margaritas and martinis are $4, and featured wines of the week are also about $4, or $12-$15 a bottle. As the name makes clear, the restaurant has aspirations to address several cultures around the Mediterranean, rather than just the Lebanon from which the owners’ parents emigrated. Bruschetta, polenta, fritto misto, clam linguine, and a meatball sub share the menu with tabbouleh and falafel.

Anita's Kitchen

(248) 362-0680

American, Breakfast, Middle East

A crowded lunch spot for Troy office workers, this friendly cafe offers good food, reasonable prices, and large portions of both Middle Eastern and American foods. Especially good are the quiche-like artichoke pie, the lemon chicken, and the desserts, which include a fine carrot cake and rice pudding almost as good as the one made by our reviewer's mom. The barbecue ribs tend to be dry, but the vegetarian mousaka and shish kabob are both good and well-seasoned. ***

Yossi's Israeli Cuisine

7325 Orchard Lake Rd., West Bloomfield Oakland County

(248) 626-0160

Middle East

At Yossi’s, much of the menu is similar to what you might find in an Arab restaurant - kebabs, hummus, shwarma, tabbouleh, baba ghanoush, fattoush. The differences are both subtle and substantial. Dishes with the same names may be seasoned differently or prepared differently. Israeli cuisine also incorporates influences from Morocco, with its emphasis on spices and slow cooking. Couscous, another Moroccan staple, appears in two of the entrées. Yossi’s is very veg-friendly. All of the appetizers are vegetarian, as are four entrées. Both the lentil and vegetable soups are made without meat stock.
