						<description><![CDATA[This tiny restaurant is basically a sectioned-off corner of Baiz Market, a Middle Eastern grocery store tucked away on a residential stretch of 20th Street, between Van Buren and Roosevelt. But despite the unlikely location, Al-Hana draws a steady, diverse stream of customers. Step up to the counter to order a tasty shish tawook plate [&#8230;]]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[Alzohour remains, to the best of our knowledge, the Valley&#8217;s only Moroccan restaurant, so we can consider ourselves fortunate that it&#8217;s as vibrant and delicious as it is. Zhor Saad has run the restaurant portion of her dining/market/clothing boutique almost single-handedly since 2008, scurrying between the front and back of house as she transitions in [&#8230;]]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[The interior of AZ Kabob House is cheerful but not lavish, and the menu includes less traditional fare, like Greek salads and hummus, but their Persian specialties, like tender, ground beef kubideh kabobs served over saffron rice; homemade doogh, a salted mint and yogurt drink; and gormeh sabzi, a lamb and herb stew, are some [&#8230;]]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[When people complain about Phoenix being too beige, they&#8217;re likely referring to areas like Cactus Road and 67th Avenue. But Casa de Falafel, located inside a gas station at this intersection called Simon Xpress, is the opposite of suburban snooziness. A Mediterranean grill churning out authentic Arabic street foods, Casa de Falafel has a menu [&#8230;]]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[Featuring the hard-to-find cuisine of Chettinad, a dry, remote region of the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, this decidedly grand restaurant on the city&#8217;s west side offers many of the region&#8217;s meat-centric, highly fragrant, and abundantly spiced food (even to the southern Indian palate) as well as around 200 dishes from both northern [&#8230;]]]></description>

The rice at Eden&#8217;s Grill in Phoenix is aromatic and flavorful, boasting eight different spices, including saffron and cinnamon, and tossed with raisins and slivers of Marcona almonds. What comes with it ain&#8217;t too shabby, either: plump, [&#8230;]]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[Pronounce it &#8220;fah-toosh,&#8221; not &#8220;fat tush.&#8221; Not only is that the correct pronunciation, but it&#8217;s also unlikely you&#8217;ll get too fat feasting on this restaurant&#8217;s Middle Eastern dishes. That&#8217;s because most everything on the menu is relatively good for you. Sure, if you eat an entire pan of baklava, you might gain a pound or [&#8230;]]]></description>
