ENJOY GREAT DINING
ON OUR OUTDOOR PATIO
But Steve's Back Room West
Bloomfield not only has a large
menu with favored items, the
many food preparations not
found at any dining spot of its
kind in the area are seldom seen
anywhere else either.
Koussa with or without meat;
artichoke hearts filled with
ground lamb, onions, pine nuts,
cooked in yogurt sauce; sheikh-
el-mahsi with or without meat;
kibbie lebanieh cooked in a yo-
gurt sauce with lamb tenderloins;
ouzy, pieces of chicken breast
over hashwi rice or noodles,
topped with almonds and pine
nuts; ablama, baby squash
sauteed and filled with ground
lamb, onions, pine nuts and
cooked in a yogurt sauce, etc. ...
Therese's lentil soup is also her
own secret.
Steve's Back Room is open six
days a week ... Monday through
Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.;
Friday and Saturday, 11:30 a.m.
to 11 p.m. ... Closed Sunday but
available for private parties.
Barney Ales knows the record
business inside and out ... Steve
and Therese Kalil, with son Steve
Jr., are restaurateurs ... It would
seem to be a strange partnership
... the record business and Mid-
dle-Eastern food ... except that a
customer who loves the clean,
fresh and wholesome Middle
Eastern taste also is possessed
with keen common sense.
Instead of going into the
restaurant business himself to
satisfy a desire, Barney did him-
self and many others a big favor
by getting one of the best opera-
tions of its kind to open with him.
Because of this large amount
of common sense, Steve's Back
Room West Bloomfield is pro-
viding him with another hit.

White tablecloths, glass blocks
all around the restaurant, mar-
ble, print padded booths, and the
open style give Steve's Back
Room West Bloomfield a look of
class.
It is one of your more pleasant
and graceful restaurant opera-
tions whose ambiance is a re-
flection of good taste, culinary
variety and fine service.
A full bar also has a juice ma-
chine with two frozen specials
daily with or without liquor ...
The special beer and wine license
for take out makes the restau-
rant one of the few Middle East-
ern dining spots with both dine
in and carry-out tickets.
Biggest sellers at Steve's Back
Room West Bloomfield are the
vegetarian dishes ... Even its
meat dishes are available vege-
tarian if desired.
On the meat side, it sells about
80 pounds of lamb chops week-
ly ... and 60 pounds of lamb shish

The food has a Damascus in-
fluence and is spiced moderate-
ly or not at all, if requested.
