This weekend was supposed to be Dinner Club Cooks French but it was de-railed by the arrival of Senator Mitchell. Instead, we headed to Mawwal, a restaurant that we had all passed a million times but never visited. It was pretty good. Attractive restaurant with fabulous freshly made bread. The menu featured a lot of organs but we stuck with two kinds of ground lamb kebabs (Aleppan-style with nuts and something green and Iraqi style with summack) and two kinds of ground lamb shaped into a patty. There is a lot they can do with ground lamb. We also tried ordering the lamb cubes but the waiter was a little dismissive and cautioned that they would take a long time.
We particularly missed the presence of Dinner Club founders Scott and Sarah who are in Jerusalem with the newly arrived preemie son. We continue to think good thoughts for all of them especially baby Aiden. We look forward to his Dinner Club debut.

The kebabs sound great. You'll be happy to know lamb is available here (most of it's imported from New Zealand), although I've never tried it.
