Now we are on the fifth largest country by population, and that is Pakistan. One of the best Pakistani restaurants in town, and a longtime favorite of ours, is Al Noor in Lawndale. They have a good selection of authentic meat dishes such as haleem, nehari, and kabobs, but also some great Indian vegetarian and vegan dishes. Al Noor is at 15112 Inglewood Avenue at the corner of Marine. RSVP to Kedem Har-Shalom at kedem524@yahoo.com or at (805) 330-1731 if you plan on coming. (COASTAL)
