 I returned to Lawrence, Kansas today to have lunch at Aladdin Cafe on Massachusetts Street. On Sunday's from 11-3 Aladdin offers a buffet with a modest selection of Mediterranean foods. I'm not an expert on food from this region of the world, but I liked the moussaka (beef, herbs and eggplant in tomato sauce) and loved the meat loaf like Sultan's Kifta Platter (lean ground beef mixed with cilantro, onion ad potatoes in tahini sauce). A third friend joined us for a second visit to Aladdin Cafe in downtown Lawrence. The Sunday buffet allowed me to try a wide variety of items. My favorites were the Sultan's Kifta Platter (lean ground beef mixed with cilantro, onion ad potatoes in tahini sauce) and Shawarmah Taouk (grilled chicken mixed with curry and herbs, topped with a potato-garlic sauce. I would glad order either one again.
