Reef’s Kitchen, located in the Marriott Plaza district of Park City, is named for the chef/owner’s son Reef, your first tip that Reef’s Kitchen is a family affair. Owner Asi Yoked’s wife also works there, his sister works there, and so do his parents on occasion. Well, nobody does falafel better than Asi, and the babaghanouj is also great. But order a glass of wine or cardamom tea and carefully peruse the menu. Because, in addition to kebabs, hummus and stuffed grape leaves are specialty dishes such as Moroccan salmon, couscous and Jerusalem shishlik: skewered, marinated leg of lamb – I suppose you could call this Middle Eastern fusion cuisine. Sides of mejadarra and tabbouleh are terrific, and I suggest winding up your meal with sesame-spiked halva cookies or basbousa: a semolina coconut cake.
