Olive Grove Restaurant & Show Lounge	Middle Eastern	Informal	Here is the problem: You want to specialize in Middle Eastern cuisine, but you find yourself in a neighbourhood mall that craves steak, seafood, pasta and pizza as well. Do you stick to your basics or spread yourself out to server all needs? We think Olive Grove would have been wise to stick to one or maybe two specialties, doing them with excellence, rather than trying to please everyone and ending up with good, but not outstanding food. Good vegetarian selection.	Midnapore Mall SE (Macleod Tr & Midlake Blvd. S 403 256-4610	7 days a week
Sahara Restaurant & Lounge www	Midle Eastern: Lebanese	Buffet	We would suggest trying the menu as the food does seem to be good, and the restaurant is certainly supported by the Lebanese community. However, at noon hour much of the buffet suffered from the warming tray blues, which took what might have been excellent and made it rather ordinary. Pastries were dry, the falafels were over–cooked, and the salad wilty. The soup and desserts, however, that were away from the heat lamps were quite good. Good vegetarian selection.	739 - 2 Ave. SW 403 262-7222	M to Th 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. F 10:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
