Just west of Miami's Brickell neighborhood, this Middle Eastern grocery has been operated since the early 1970s by a Palestinian couple and their now-grown children.

A few long tables line the back of the market, where customers stand at the deli counter to order sandwiches and platters. Fresh falafel and shawarma come wrapped in pita -- baked daily -- or on a plate with sides that include rice and chickpea curry.

If you want to snack, try the fatayer (triangle-shaped pies stuffed with spinach, meat or ricotta). Munch on free lemon and garlic-flavored pita chips while you wait.

Drinks include malt sodas (apple, blackberry, strawberry) and juices (cherry, carrot, tamarind). Pay near the entrance, where you can grab a piece of baklava for dessert.
