Vegetarian combo plate at Za'atar

In June, former Aladdin owner Ari Baban opened up a full-scale Mediterranean bakery inside of a taco shop, fashioning the windows into temple silhouettes and building a traditional hajari stone oven in the back. Out of the oven comes all manner of breads: round pitas, doughy "middle Eastern donut" hands packed with date paste and football-shaped samoons popular in Iraq. The best way to utilize all these yeasts is to get the vegetarian platter, which comes with several dips including a tahini-rich hummus and a caroway spiced mashui dip that tastes like tomatoes and fresh earth. 2825 N.
