Friendly if undistinguished Middle Eastern deli. Fayrouz sparkling malt beverage, pear flavor (330 ml.; $1), from Egypt. Good balance between malt and fruit; the pineapple flavor might fare less well.
On a visit last year, a nonalcoholic Sindbad malt beverage with apple flavor (330 ml.; $1) was more an apple juice with faint malty undertones that cut the sweetness.
