So I just came back from Montreal, and as shameful as it probably sounds one of my favourite meals was a chicken plate from Basha. For the uninitiated, think of Basha as a type of "Nandos" for Lebanese plates (in that they're franchised, and likely to be found in a food court/small standalone place). For the price, the plates were awesome as they were delicious, fed both my wife and I for lunch, and freed up some space to try other small things that we came across.

Now, I wish I could say the same about Lebanese plates here. The best I've had was Meditalia on 72nd and 137th by the wave pool, but since they've changed owners they've gone downhill quite fast.

By Lebanese plate, I mean meat on top of rice, hummous, pita, tabouleh(!), garlic sauce, tahini (optional).

Where are some of your go-to Lebanese plate places in the Lower Mainland, (ideally Tri-cities but I'll drive to where it's good)? For reference, I've tried the following places:

- Abdul's BBQ (not really Lebanese, Crystal Mall): was very meh
- Tasty Donair (new Meditalia): Probably the next best place I've had
- Mega Donair (PoMo): Awesome pita (home made). Otherwise meh. Stick to the donairs here simply for the pita.
- Shawarma Grill (Coquitlam Center): Ok in a pinch, otherwise meh
- Uncle Moe's Donair (PoCo, no tabouleh!): meh

I have the following places lined up and will follow up with yay/meh once I do:

- Sultan's Donair (Coquitlam)
- Donair Town (Austin location)
