Misadonet (Kurdish Kitchen), Jerusalem

One of the many unusual restaurants in Jerusalem, Misadonet offers homemade Kurdish food in a rustic Eastern-style decor complete with comfy embroidered cushions and colorful hanging rugs. Dishes on the menu include Giri-Giri(lambs heart stuffed with mixed nuts) and Koubeh (thick spicy soups with different kinds of stuffed meatballs). This is hearty food, which averages at moderate to expensive entrees that are worth their prices. Meals come separate from its wine selection. Call ahead for hours.
