Sinbad’s Restaurant (Lincoln)
Each time I go to Sinbad’s, something is new. This time, there was new seating and some flat-panel TVs tuned into an unusual show teaching how to count in Arabic.
And this time, I was with two other people, both of whom can mow it down, so we ordered the Arabian platter, something which might be enough food for one Kobayashi, but probably enough for five or six mere mortals.
All in?
But this image doesn’t show all you get. You also get small salads and bread. The salads are not remarkable, but the bread is very good and I particularly like the garlic sauce as a go-with. Actually, the garlic sauce goes with pretty much everything there.
The platter has a pile of rice (not a bed of rice) falafel, gyro meat, ground lamb, ground chicken, chicken, steak, cucumbers, tomatoes, lemon slices, and some of the delicious fried-rice meat pies called kubbahs. My favorites in the platter are the falafel and the chicken. The gyro beast meat is as you would expect. I would rather just not have it on the platter.
After trying to make a dent with three people for 20 minutes, there was almost half of the platter left, which means it’s enough food for five hungry people. I thought: I’ll either have to make more friends or take some home for lunch. And at $34.99, it’s a reasonably priced Arabian platter.
