This oughtta be good.
We had lunch at a Middle Eastern Restaurant today * Holy Land in NE
Minneapolis. Rob remarked that much of the food seemed to have a strong
flavor of *** something. He didn't know what it was. Said it wasn't
necessarily unpleasant except that it was prominent. I said I'd "ask my
people." What do you think it might have been? I wondered about cumin
but don't even know if that's common in that kind of cookery. OTOH, I'm
pretty sure Beef Teriyaki and Chicken Alfredo aren't common to middle
eastern cookery, but they were on the buffet line. :-)
He had kofta with vegetables, falafel, tandoori chicken, some gyro meat,
and I'm not sure what else. Is there a common spice in all of those?
If it makes any difference, the owners are Palestinian.

Save any smartass replies for another time. :-)
