THE MORNING CALL

Forks Mediterranean Deli is a treasure of Middle Eastern fare

The restaurant also sells specialty foods in a grocer's section.
May 31, 2012|By Susan Gottshall,

Special to The Morning Call Forks Mediterranean Deli is a treasure of Middle Eastern fare, right in our own backyard. Not only does this deli serve up fine hummus and tabbouleh, it also offers Mediterranean specialty foods in its small grocer's section. Inside the stucco-style building with its red tile roof, the dining room is unremarkable — buttercup yellow walls, linoleum floor and about a dozen basic tables and booths. The well-stocked grocer's section and family photos from Lebanon provide the deli's character. Pickled turnips, aromatic spices, large jars of olive oil, bottles of rose water, tahini and more fill the grocer's shelves. more

The combination of rice, lentils and onions was complex but the toppings -- first-pressed olive oil from the family’s grove in Lebanon and a homemade yogurt -- added layers of flavor."

Stand-out features include the small seating area, with kitchen-type tables and chairs; an impressive selection of spices, oils, breads and other delicacies; and an expansive deli case with meats and cheeses and spreads, the likes of which I could only ever hope to accurately pronounce." more...
