who “learned cooking with
my Bubbie Shirley.” He helps
the Al-Amaras and employ-
ee Eli Vail with cooking
duties on Saturday morn-
ings, saying: “I’ve always
wanted to have a kitchen.”
KAL
’S is situated in the
northeast corner of the
Royal Oak Farmers Market.
Weekends are hectic when
vendors are in residence. After
closing Mondayss, the casual
eatery operates weekdays in
a voluminous space. Repeat
customers and others noticing
the outdoor signage pick up
carry-outs or dine inside.
Among the “Starters” on
the restaurant’s Halal menu
— pork is forbidden — is
the spreadable appetizer,
Baba Ghanoush. Schwartz
smokes the eggplant needed
over apple and cherrywood
in his backyard smoker. He
also smokes red peppers for
hummus.
I really enjoyed my savory
plate of Loaded Falafel,
another appetizer, featuring a
moister-than-most chickpea
mixture that Chef Kal said
has “Israeli, Egyptian and
Lebanese influences.”
Including salads, soups,
sides and kids’ meals, KAL’S
healthy, from-scratch cook-
ing appeals to vegetarians
and vegans as well as car-
nivores. Additionally, the
restaurant caters fundraisers
and feeds visitors attending
market events.
