Kan Zaman

The waiter at Kan Zaman said the lamb shank would be the envy of the table. He was right.

At Kan Zaman we reclined on floor pillows as we ate. But is eating on the floor all it’s cracked up to be? Did the Lebanese menu meet our expectations? Does belly dancing enhance the ambiance or detract from it? Listen in, and we’ll tell you what we think.
