As Delhiites who've grown up on a diet of films screened at PVR Priya will insist, the experience wasn't considered complete without the Chicken Shawarma, Falafel or Hummus of this hole-in-the-wall outlet with pavement seating, which has thrived on goodwill in the dirtiest part of the badly maintained Basant Lok Community Centre. Years before Lebanese cuisine became fashionable and belly dancing became the rage, Arabian Nites gave it the kind of mass appeal – though the grilled chicken tastes suspiciously like its tandoori cousin – that has made it outlast its fashionable rivals.
