Mediterranean food, particularly Middle Eastern, is one of the \u201cin\u201d culinary trends of late, but all the new restaurants have some work to do to catch up to Khoury\u2019s, which has been operating since 1966 (not to be confused with Khoury\u2019s Fine Win & Spirits, a wine shop on the east side). What sets Khoury\u2019s apart from other Mediterranean restaurants in Las Vegas is that it\u2019s Lebanese, which is a different style from Greek, Iranian, or any of the others that serve Mediterranean cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off the Strip<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Khoury\u2019s is located at 9340 W. Sahara, which is a bit of a drive, about 11 miles from the Strip. The easiest route is to go straight up Sahara and it\u2019s in a shopping mall at the corner of Sahara and Ft. Apache. We\u2019ve eaten here with Lebanese friends who confirm that this is the real deal, so you\u2019ll find it worth the trip. Khoury\u2019s is open seven days a week from 11 am to 9 pm (10 pm weekends).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All the Lebanese favorites are here: hummus; baba ghanoush; loubieh (green beens); bamieh (okra); olives; pickles; grape leaves; falafel; six different kabobs; schwarma and gyro sandwiches; lentil or beef and rice tomato soup; and salads of all kinds made with tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, spinach, onions, mint, lemon juice, even some with lettuce, and we rate the tabbouleh as the best in town. Chicken livers are $17.95, Farooj (whole baked chicken in spices) $23.95, and lamb chops $32.95. Good stuff, but we go for the kibbi-naya ($34.95), ground raw lamb mixed with cracked wheat and spices. Scoop it with the pita that\u2019s baked fresh in brick ovens and brought to the table hot and risen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mediterranean Feast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You want to get a taste of lots of things here, so you can go for the house mezza ($35.95) or mini-house mezza ($21.95). There\u2019s also a \u201cdinner for two\u201d option ($54.95) that gives you a choice of several options. If you want to go nuts, the Mediterranean Feast is available for parties of six or more for $32.95 per person. It\u2019s a whole lotta grub. We did it, but probably wouldn\u2019t again, as some of the meat dishes were dry and there are just too many other good things on the menu to go for rather than the MF that\u2019s bound to have some things you don\u2019t necessarily want.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Khoury\u2019s is our top pick of all of Las Vegas\u2019 Middle Eastern options. Our play is the kibbi-naya and tabbouleh, which is easily enough for two, for $50. If raw lamb isn\u2019t your thing, there are the options listed here and more. Top it off\u00a0with an Almaza Lebanese beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
