Is this the place with the brain sandwiches?
It is, I confirmed for World's Fare blogger Joe DiStefano; as with so many dining destinations in his home borough, he'd already been here, back when. A review of the menu board also revealed a sandwich starring sujok, presumably a less glamorous, more workmanlike rendition than at Tanoreen. I paid a call in the morning, though, and like the customers ahead of me took note of what was freshest from the oven: A snugly sealed spinach-onion pie ($1.75) was wonderfully moist inside, with an elusive note of sweetness. Also shown below: a baklava lagniappe.
