Sharing the same nondescript parking lot on Overland Road as the Country Club Reel Theatre sits a small Middle Eastern storefront, Ishtar Market and Restaurant. It’s the textbook definition of a hole in the wall. Reminiscent of a neighborhood corner store like Roosevelt Market, it’s stocked with everything from hummus to bleach. If you look deeper, you can also find pickled radishes, fresh samoon (a football shaped bread served in Iraq), a counter filled with desserts and an assortment of baklavas glistening with rose water and honey.
