Arab Adventures

North Vancouver is a great hub for quality middle eastern food.  Last weekend we decided to stray from our downtown bubble and head over the bridge for some serious kebab action.  It was such a nice day that the patio at Zeitoon called to us as we drove by on Lonsdale. Starting with some hummous, tzatziki and baba ghanoush ( my favie ), they served the pita bread with a raw sweet onion which was an authentic bonus.  The boys had Doogh, a plain yogurt and mint drink, thirst quenching? Heck no, but definitely your daily dose of calcium in a cup.  For the main, we had lamb 3 ways, because as my daddy said, "you can have beef or chicken any day! let's live a little" and we did.
From left to right: Lamb Shank and Baghali Polo ( I think the shank was already being passed around during the photo ) Lamb Koobideh and Shishlik Lamb Kebab.
