ferdos grill

Friday night Steven and I were pleasantly surprised by our restaurant experience. Steven and I always seem to go to the same places and we both agree that we need to branch out and try new places. Steven suggested we try a new place, Ferdos, which he thought might be a nice change from our normal fare. He was right.

I thought the place might be a take-out style restaurant and I didn't think they served alcohol. Boy, was I wrong! When we arrived, I was amazed to see that the restaurant was a cute place (and they have belly dancers on Saturday nights). There was no sign of take-out and I saw people enjoying wine with their meals. Score.

According to their website, Ferdos Grill prides itself on providing the some of the finest Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern food in South Florida. And they aren't kidding. We started out with a delicious Baba-Ghannouj,which is char grilled eggplant with tahini, garlic and lemon juice. We snacked on that with warm pita while we decided what to order for our entrees.

I ordered the Shish Kafta, which is two char grilled skewers of ground beef minced with parsley and onions, served with steamed vegetables. Steven ordered the Galaba which is beef sauteed in olive oil and lemon sauce and is served with assorted vegetables and rice. We both loved our choices.

We will definitely be back to Ferdos. The atmosphere is cute, the service is good and the food is outstanding.
