"My great-grandfather brought the family from Beirut in 1902. After his wife died in the 1920s, my grandmother left school to treat the household. All the time when I grew up in the 50s and 60s and in my college year in the 70s, she cooked wonderful Lebanese food for me and the family. Nothing I ever had in a restaurant compared to food from their kitchen. Yeah, I'm a very hard sale when it comes to a Meditteranean/Lebanese restaurant. Only Fadi’s is ever near Nanas home kitchen. This food must be very fresh with many dominant flavors. The cube must be rather soft and still firm and give an immediate taste with or without Labyn. Tabboulih must be particularly tart. Baba Ganoush must have this special eggplant texture and taste. Jasmine rice needs a delicate taste. Stuffed grape leaves should have a lemon tartness to them and be rolled thick. The baklava should be layered in the fluffy dough and have this special nutty texture and taste with every bite. The chefs can't make shortcuts or fake it. I'll see her. The cooks of Fadi know exactly how to prepare and serve this very specific food. All I mentioned is perfectly prepared for Fadi. Kibbe is fried or baked as it is ordered, so it could be the freshest. They'll take it to your table. The various types of hummus entice you first, along with their homemade pita bread. There are almost too many salads, from easy to choose. Her meat (especially lamb) is covered in lush engravings. Rice is in hills. That's the best I ever tasted outside my grammar kitchen. It is not unusual for me and my wife (which has learned all recipes professionally) to make the almost 200 mile round trip to lunch in Fadi. The portions are so big that we always bring a lot of food home with us. This surprising restaurant was recommended for years by a Lebanese doctor from me in medicine. Fadi never disappointed me."
