BANZO

The Little Restaurant that Could
BY JEANNE CARPENTER

When it comes to eating at Banzo,
there are two basic things one needs to
decide: 1) what one wants, and 2) how
one wants it.
The seemingly easy choices of
falafel, beef kebabs, char-grilled

chicken, or shaved brisket get a
little more complicated when one
realizes they can be presented
in a pita sandwich, on a platter
with majadra rice, on a homemade
hummus plate, or in a salad. Just watch
someone try to decide what they want

to eat at Banzo, and it’s immediately
clear that what seems to be a list of
simple offerings is actually an offering
of tasty, complex dishes hiding in deep
disguise. Virtually every choice on the
menu is a good one. Ask any customer,
