Noon-O-Kabab

The salmon kabob melts in your mouth. And there's no skewer in sight!
Semiramis has long been top in our book for Middle Eastern cuisine. So how does its neighbor Noon-O-Kabab compare? With a more meat-focused menu, it's certainly a different kind of dining experience. But whenever I'm hungry and happen to be hopping off the Brown Line at Kedzie, I'll be torn. That's because both restaurants "got game."

Save room for baklava. It's the perfect finish to the meal.

Dang it! It's 7:30 in the morning and I can already conceive of wrapping my mouth around a kabob and some baklava.

Semiramis is not Persian, it's Lebanese.

We wondered about that since they serve very similar things. Maybe Middle Eastern is a better catch-all for these places? Thanks for the correction.
