Suraya

FishtownLevantine, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Lebanese$-$$$

The menu at this sprawling and beautiful Fishtown destination for Lebanese food from the Defined Hospitality restaurant group is 90% gluten-free. It offers crudité in lieu of pita for the mezza (including the intensely smoky baba ghanoush) and nothing with gluten touches the live fire grill that produces some of the restaurant’s most memorable flavors, from the various kebabs to the head-on prawns and samke harra branzino.
