Review Published, JUNE 14, 2006   

I can't come up with a single complaint about this Lincoln Park gem, which, with frightened
visions of long lines, I hesitate to promote. A bottomless basket of warm, paper-thin pita
served alongside marinated black olives keeps you company while you read through the
menu of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes (all prepared from scratch on site).
Most starters cost about $4 and are big enough to share: The lentil soup is
vegetarian-friendly, the garlicky hummus and baba ghanouj are perfect precursors to any
meal, and the veggie sampler, a value at $7.50, is a nice option for the indecisive.
Main dishes prove that healthy food doesn't have to taste, well, healthy. The chicken and
beef shawarma plates are a house favorite, the Moroccan chicken tajine and couscous
plates are ultra authentic and rumor has it falafel connoisseurs go gaga for Sinbad's version
of the Syrian specialty. If you're new to Middle Eastern cuisine, ease into the experience
with a pita sandwich, which, at $4.95-$6.50, comes with crinkle-cut French fries. The
portions are huge, but try to save room for out-of-this-world baklava or a freshly squeezed
juice or smoothie from the juice bar.

The interior is as warm as the wait staff and as subtle as the Mediterranean music that
plays in the background. But if you're not up for dining out, you can carry in or have your
meal delivered. In fact, you don't even have to pick up the phone since Sinbad's
encourages online ordering. BYOB.
