Yum! Yum!’s Tasty Middle Eastern Food
Short Orders
The Middle
Eastern food at Yum! Yum! (4125 S. Howell Ave.) lives up to the restaurant’s
tasty name. At an earlier visit, Yum! Yum!, housed in a former neighborhood
drive-in, offered just four seats at a counter, but a side dining room should
be open by now. The menu includes Middle Eastern staples like beef and chicken
kabobs and vegetarian appetizers. All of the meat is zabiha halal, which is the
Islamic equivalent of kosher. Starters include humus, babaganoog and Egyptian
fuul (fava beans). Musabaha is a blend of humus with whole chickpeas. Among the
entrees is a decent shawarma with beef served in small, sliced pieces. It is
offered spicy or mild. Kafta kabobs, either ground beef or chicken, are quite
good. The house specialty is a mix platter that includes an assortment of
grilled meats. This is good Middle Eastern food.
