Hash O'Nash in Mamaroneck
I've seen the closed soon-to-be-opened storefront for this restaurant on Mamaroneck Avenue for a while.
"Middle Eastern Country Kitchen?"
Thankful to see it's not another Asian fusion or sushi joint, but what exactly is it?
Anybody know anything about it? And what's with the unusual name?

According to Zabihah.com this is a Mediterranean restaurant that is owned by Muslims and serves Halal (Muslim dietary law) food. So I guess it's a Arab Halal restaurant. But It also seems to have an eclectic assortment of other eastern Mediterranean dishes on its menu. See http://www.zabihah.com/d/Mamaroneck+2...

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! I ordered lunch from here and one worker was making food with only 1 glove on. There was also another worker who was making a gyro with bare hands. He was touching all the food with bare hands...picking chopped tomatoes, touching the wrap and then proceeded to handle the register and touch money. Very unsanitary!

re: cubanat
let me rephrase it...i actually met the owner who shaked my hand, tuched his face and proceeded to make my lunch afterwards with his bare hands and then handled money....its besides the point...when handling food one should always wear gloves...thats why they have the dept of health whom i called.

I went in for lunch a few weeks ago and was also not impressed. Sitting there eating my over priced and over salted lunch, I was wishing that I was eating at the turkish place around the corner on Depot Place. I noticed today that they have a sign out front that says $5.00 lunch specials. I may give them one more chance and try it out.

Well, this place has opened up. I didn't go in but I swiped one of their menus.
Very much a cross section of Greek/Jewish Mediterranean dishes and they boast of a grill and a smoker.
While the basic dish prices seemed right on the nose (falafel), the gyro was a hefty $15. I don't even know if they charge that much in a Greek diner. A mixed grill went for $28 (with a 4-person special going for $99).
If anybody dines here, would love to know how the food is and if the pricier dishes are worth it.

Dined here with my family last week twice. Went for lunch first and was excited by the menu (8 hour brisket, Flanken in a Pot, Kabobs) and the open kitchen (with a smoker right there on the cooks' line!). Loved the gesture of complementary house-made pickles (cucumber, olives, turnip!) upon being seated (but oh man were they salty). Underwhelmed by our vegetarian lunch (hummus, baba ganoush, mujaddarah (amazing lentil and rice dish -- heavenly when done right), grilled lebanese cheese. With the exception of the cheese, everything was rather bland -- watered-down versions of classic dishes. And portions were small. Still wanted to return for dinner to taste some of the more robust, meatier dishes from the kitchen. Unfortunately, everything (Flanken, Brisket, Lamb Kabob) was way below par. Flanken was rubbery and completely bland Brisket was not brisket at all.. it was thinly sliced corned beef in an insipid "barbeque sauce" (who tries to pass off corned beef as an 8 hour slow-smoked brisket?) and the lamb kabob was tough. Again small portions.. and the sides were not done well either (rice so dry it had to be sent back). I do hope that the kitchen pulls it together.... the menu is great... just needs better execution (much better execution).
