Alaa’s Liked Places

Alaa Shaker: Yes, do get the lamb shank (Qabili Pallow). Meat falls off the bone. You won't be disappointed!

Alaa Shaker: Everything's great. Try the nopales if you haven't had them before (cactus leaf) ;)

Alaa Shaker: This is a hidden gem! Love their cold cuts, prices are great, and their staff are very nice. If you're getting a sandwich, see if they have the pretzel bread.

Alaa Shaker: Cheap, delicious, authentic Mexican food. Best steak & chicken tacos. Great Carne Asada. Taco salad (off the menu). And the drinks (aguas frescas, hibiscus, horchata)! Did I say they open late?!!!

Alaa Shaker: Love the new place! Get the S'mores Molten Chocolate Cake 😋

Alaa Shaker: Get any of the Oreos!!!!! They're amazing! Plenty of choices, and you can't go wrong with any of them. Cash only, long line, and yes, it's worth the wait! Couple of ATMs right next door (on SW 3rd).

Alaa Shaker: Excellent; fresh fish, creative rolls, trendy place & Musashi's owner is serving you the food himself. We tried Capitol Hill, Kamikaze & Gokan No1 - delicious! Make sure you try the Fried Oysters too!

Alaa Shaker: Loved the place! While "Miles & Karina" played their music, we enjoyed a special appetizer, lasagna pink door, slow roasted beef long rib & the boobie cake. AMAZING! And yes, it's definitely worth it!

Alaa Shaker: Hilarious! Mike Murphy and Jon Koenen are unbelievable! Great for a late-night outing with a few friends. Every show is unique. Try to sit at the front.

Alaa Shaker: Get the baked eggs- they're unbelievably good!!! The smoked salmon eggs benedict (w/ avocados) was amazing too. It's a tiny place, so put down your name & expect a 20-30 min wait at least on weekends.

Alaa Shaker: Delicious food, good prices, great service, and long line!! Just like everyone says, get the roast lamb. Try the lasagna too.

Alaa Shaker: Get the Brisket Burrita Leñera, HUGE and delicious! Try the Three Milk Cuban Flan, very rich and creamy!

Alaa Shaker: Hands down one of the best burgers in town. Loved the Madison (grass-fed). Get the short rib poutine too!

Alaa Shaker: Get the Beef Polynesian (appetizer), the Stuffed Mahimahi (entree), and the Polynesian Black Pearl (dessert). It's expensive, but the food and the service were spectacular! Oh, better book in advance.

Alaa Shaker: Share a table and get the fish and steak tacos. Huge and unbelievably good (esp. the mango salsa)! Try the blackened mahi mahi burger for a change. You won't regret it!

Alaa Shaker: Loved it!! Tried the beef, chicken & kafta. Pretty authentic (Lebanese), well-marinated & adding french fries pieces to the wrap makes it even better! Great service, owner's very nice. Will be back :)

Alaa Shaker: This is awesome! Perfect for an unusual outing w/ a group of friends. It's a bit pricey, but you'll get hooked once you try it.

Alaa Shaker: The best Thai food you can get. Cash only, small tables (seats 2-3 ppl max), and you gotta eat quick coz the line is LONG!

Alaa Shaker: Read the tips. Get the chirashi. It's SO good! Fresh sushi, huge portions, cheap prices - can't beat that! Long lines, cash only though. Make sure you check out the off-menu items too!

Alaa Shaker: Louisiana Rub and Mango Habanero. Try the Lemon Pepper, Garlic Parmesan, BBQ, and Teriyaki too. Love the fries and the blue cheese on the side. Order's a bit slow, but worth the wait.

Alaa Shaker: Best subs in town! Get the big roast beef w/ everything (skip the Oil & Italian Seasoning). Get healthy pickles on the side, then ruin all of that w/ an Oreo shake (3 scoops of ice cream included).
