A new Middle Eastern eatery has opened up shop on the outskirts of downtown. Located at 2901 Euclid Ave. near Cleveland State University, Albaik Restaurant offers affordable fare in a brightly lit, casual space.
Start off with the falafel, hummus, stuffed grape leaves or one of several salads. On the menu, look for an assortment of pita wraps, shawarma plates and other Middle Eastern favorites featuring slow-roasted meats and fresh veggies. Wash it down with a mixed fruit drink made with strawberries, bananas, oranges and pineapple blended with honey and nuts. A popular spot for carryout, Albaik also delivers.
It's still early days for the fledgling business — it's got just one review on Yelp thus far.
Joyce N., who was the first Yelper to review the new spot on April 26, said, "Located right in the heart of CSU's campus, this restaurant is the perfect Middle Eastern meal fix! The staff and owners were extremely hospitable and the price is affordable. It's a large, clean, well-decorated restaurant too!"
Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. Albaik Restaurant is open from 10 a.m.–10 p.m. daily.
