Teta Mona

Overview

The heart and soul behind this East Lebanese joint in Brunswick is the owners' Téta (grandmother) Mona, and the village soul food they were raised on. Surrounded by black and white photos of the family, tables covered in plastic and vintage kitchenware, you'll feel like you've gone back in time to your grandparents' place for Sunday lunch. Nab a table in the courtyard out the back, and enjoy crunchy falafel, smoky baba ganoush, zucchinis stuffed with wild rice and vegan baklava. And good news: it's just $1 per bottle to BYO beer (or $8 per bottle of wine).
