Boy, do I love this place.  I can’t seem to get myself to eat anywhere else in the river market these days.

I have no clue what I’m eating sometimes at Middle Eastern Cuisine.  Growing up in the rural south, we didn’t eat much Middle Eastern food.  That’s what makes it so much fun.

And tasty.  Below is a spanakopita, a spinach and feta cheese mixture wrapped up in filo pastry and baked until golden brown.

You get two side orders, so I got the humus and Jerusalem salad.   It also comes with a fresh baked pita bread.  The yogurt sauce was an added bonus.

Nice flaky crust works well with the spinach, cheese, and yogurt sauce.  All this with a  coke, plus tax = $7.00.  Now that’s a bargain.  If you haven’t already, give it a shot next time you’re in the river market.  If you already have, what’s your favorite dish at Middle Eastern Cuisine?
