El Manto
One of the newest additions to the mix, El Manto combines amazing food with a very cool decor in tune with a middle Eastern feel. *Bonus points for flavored tobaccos and hookah availability.

    I’m a firm believer that Demashk, on Charcas near Araoz, has the best hummus in the city!

    Just went to the place on Arce. The name is Al-Zein, but you’ll probably notice the sign for Comida Arabe first. it’s on Arce but a little past Arevalo, a couple blocks in the opposite direction of Dorrego. They’re Syrian guys and very authentic. Phone is 4775-1402.
