You might also want to order a tostada with fresh ceviche, but be prepared to stand outside while scarfing down your order, because there’s always a line here and, save for a table or two, nowhere to sit inside.

“Middle Eastern bubby food” is how one former food critic describes the tasty fare served at Fat Pasha. We'd add it's got that signature, updated Anthony Rose twist, the restaurant's owner/chef. Lively, fun and a great place to gather with friends who want to share bigger plates or order their own, you can't go wrong with the za'atar butter flank steak or the whole roasted cauliflower with tahini, halloumi and pomegranate seeds.
