Milwaukee's best Middle Eastern, 2009: Casablanca
What began as a family-owned restaurant on Mitchell Street evolved into a Brady Street emporium of Middle Eastern delights. Following in their parents' footsteps, brothers Alaa and Nasser Musa opened the second generation of Casablanca, serving traditional kabobs, falafel, stuffed grape leaves and shawarma.

Service is king at Shiraz Restaurant
Shiraz, which serves Persian fare, has definitely stepped off on the right foot, taking a customer-friendly and accommodating attitude and it's as refreshing as a glass of rosewater lemonade.
