The spice of the kufta leaches into the sauce, countering the mild bitterness. It’s a symphony of textures and flavors. Like many great dishes, it’s easy to eat and fun to ponder.

No gyros allowed
Sorry, you delicious melange of beef and lamb, shaved thin and crisped on a spit. Some days, I want to expand my options. I’m obsessed with doing so at Nunu’s Mediterranean Cafe & Market, 3131 W.

Mediterranean on Main
What works: Classic gyros and unexpected authentic Iranian cuisine. What needs work: The dining room could stand being redecorated. The Tip: Ole Town is fair value for very good food in a simple setting. Ole Town is accurately named. At Main and Porter, it’s on one of Norman’s oldest and busiest street corners. The building […]
