Litany is an authentic Lebanese restaurant that brings all of the flavors of the Middle East to Cali. We had an excellent meal and were very happy with the service.
We sat down in the cozy dining which was quite full. The server happily explained some of the dishes to Marisol, who didn’t have much experience with Lebanese cuisine at the time. There was a great variety of dishes to choose from, making it difficult to select what to have for our dinner.
Dinner
After thinking long and hard, we decided to order a bunch of dishes to share. We settled on a kebab plate, chicken and sumac rolls, and a sampler plate that came with fried kibbe, tabbouleh, fattoush salad, falafel, rice, hummus, and stuffed grape leaves. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. Only the baba ghannouj was a bit different than what I was expecting. It was very good but not what I’m used to because it was made with a tomato base. I had never experienced that before.
Dessert
The meal was topped off with knefe and Arabic coffee. It wasn’t like the künefe I was used to in Turkey but still good.
