Bites Nearby: Let Your Tastebuds Travel to the Middle East

Even though is perched on the corner of Waterman Avenue and Anthony Street and has a giant sign, it's still easy to miss this one of a kind restaurant. After reading this, you may say to yourself: "Hey, I've driven by that place before! I had no idea!"

Don't worry, we're here to fill you in on everything you need to know about this standout restaurant.

La Camelia serves up awesome Middle Eastern cuisine. This means you can get baba ganoush on tasty, thin pita-like bread and lamb so tender it doesn't even need a knife. Lamb is a substantial part of the menu there, but there are rib offerings, as well.

For those seeking a vegetarian fare, they offer plant, cheese and egg-based plates that are sure to leave you satisfied. Of course, no experience of this kind would be complete without a piece of La Camelia's legendary Baklava.

There's an opportunity to take a Tappas approach to meal-building at La Camelia's, and the plates that you can mix-and-match lend themselves to sharing, which is exactly why you should consider this restaurant for a night out with friends. The dining room runs on the smaller side, and it's family-owned, so you and your party will be able to enjoy warm and prompt hospitality along with great food.
