Alnada Bakery and Restaurant

Amazing cheese/​zatar bread. Love, love, love.
The service is friendly, if a little slow, but hey, they’re making it fresh for me (but I think you have to ask for that, otherwise it might be reheated).
I’ve never had anything except the bread — bread with cheese, bread with zatar (a wonderfully savory blend of thyme, sesame seeds, salt and sumac — I think) and bread with cheese AND zatar. Together! Oh my. As usual with mid-​east cuisine, the portions are giant and the prices are low. For just a few dollars, I leave with a big, warm bag of spicy and/​or cheesy goodness. I have a hard time not tearing into it in my car…
It’s a small bakery, with some seating as well, but I normally grab my hot, greasy bread and dash, hoping to get home to share it while it’s still hot. The guys who work in the bakery (and perhaps someone’s young son?) are all pretty friendly too, and so are some of the patrons, who will also chat you up while you wait.
I just wish they were closer to Birmingham!
