he Middle East Restaurant & Nightclub is famous even beyond Boston as one of the area’s hippest spots for live music. Often overlooked: the food. Originally a restaurant exclusively, the Middle East serves such classics as falafel and shawarma plus a vast menu of everything from hummus plates to cheeseburgers and an extensive selection of vegetarian entrees like mjudra, a lentil stew.
