Mediterranean food is marvelous at this Reseda restaurant

I do believe that, eventually, my diet will winnow itself down to nothing but small plates.

If I could, I’d live on nothing but highly focused, deeply flavorful, but not overly challenging dishes. A 48-ounce ribeye is work, and lots of it. Hummus is easy as, well, pie. But lots healthier if it’s protein and fiber that you’ve come to worship as the dietary gods of the moment.

And I’m not alone. Take a look at the small dishes of the world, and you’ll find one cuisine after another, with a plethora of little bites.
