Fodor's Expert Review Bay Tree
Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.
This popular small café in the university area is unpretentious and quite cheap. It serves wonderful Middle Eastern food—mostly vegetarian dishes, but there are a few lamb and chicken creations as well. Egyptian phool (broad beans dressed with spices and herbs), Turkish mulukia (fried eggplant with a tomato-and-herb sauce), and kurma (stew with spinach, herbs, and beans) are among its delights. Two-course lunch and pre-theater menus are a good deal, and both standard egg and Arabian breakfasts are served. You can also bring your own wine; there is a good wine store just a few doors away, and there is no corkage charge.
