T he diverse stretch of Forest Avenue between Woodford’s and Morrill’s corners has long been a destination for authentic ethnic cuisines. There you’ll find two dedicated markets, Ahram and Sindbad (or Sinbad or Sindibad, depending on which sign you’re looking at on the storefront windows), and a bakery/ca- fé–all owned by enterprising Iraqi immigrants. But as Middle Eastern food soars in popularity, you can now discover delicious Levantine-themed locales in East Bayside and the Old Port. Hummus,perhaps the Middle East’s most popular culinary import,is served with fresh house-made pita at Evo.
