When we go to the Farmer’s Market at Third and Fairfax, I have a rotation of three regular stops. It is either Loteria, Pampa or Moishe’s.

Moishe’s serves middle eastern cuisine — kabobs, falafel, and shwarma, hummous, baba ghanouj, taboule, food along those lines. My absolute favorite, though, are the grilled chicken wings. Ten wings are put onto two skewers and grilled over the flames. The wings have a mouth watering citrus marinade that tastes so good with the charbroiled smokiness.

The dinner plates come with two sides. The cold couscous salad is a must try and I also like to get the tomato-cucumber salad. I think the dish is $10-$11, not terribly cheap, but worth it.

Last time I was there, I watched the guy make the falafel. It was an interesting process as he formed the chickpea balls on the end of a small mallet and then quickly popped them into a wok full of bubbling oil. I am embarassed to say that I haven’t tried their falafel, but rumor has it that they are top notch.
