middle eastern restaurant

A Middle Eastern restaurant is an eatery with table service which specializes in foods cooked in the culinary styles of any country or region in the Middle East, including northern Africa, western Asia, or Turkic lands of Europe.

The stated scope includes northern Africa, western Asia, and Turkic parts of Europe. It is wider than a narrow geographic reading of the Middle East alone.

A single regional or national tradition can establish the specialization. A restaurant need not represent all the included areas on one menu.
