Kubri

This women-run Lebanese hotspot with rust-colored subway tiles on the walls has a raucous atmosphere that’ll make you feel like you’re in the souks of Beirut. Start with one of their khebez, or bread-accompanied dips, like labné topped with a pile of greens. Other highlights include the Chou Hispi, a grilled piece of cabbage with a supporting ingredient that’s the real star: spicy cream cheese topped with pickled apricot. We also love the shrimp that come without the shell for easy eating in a butter shawarma sauce that’s almost sweet, thanks to a sesame cream. You’re going to have to come with a crew to order the giant plate of lamb or beef ribs (€115 and recommended for five or six people) smothered in tahini, tomatoes, and sumac.
