Zewadeh Mediterranean Grill (Anaheim, CA)
Very unassuming and humble, family run, kabob grill. The schwarma meats were excellent, crispy edges and plenty of seasoning, as was the tabouli, it was nice and fresh. The chili dried tomato hummus was interesting, it was tasty, but next time I might try the plain hummus. The pita bread seemed homemade, and could have used a bit more salt....

And some came closer to an Earth analogue than astronomers had dared hope — suggesting rocky planets about our size aren’t all that rare. (Good...
