Thanks loads.

hi sweat pea,

there is the cafe mediterranee on steinway blvd. i like it. i found out about it from an algerian cab driver {the first time i have ever met an algerian in the US without my parents' introduction!}

here is a review on chowhound with the exact address:

Another gem on Steinway is La Mediterranee Cafe & Grill at 25-75 Steinway (near Carvel). Hands down the best north-african style coffee you can find... go in and ask for a "half-and-half" (1/2 espresso, 1/2 milk). Only on Fridays & Sundays do they offer their lamb couscous, which is one of the best I have come across in all of NYC- especially for the price (only $8, so big it's enough for 2). Unlike Tunisian-style couscous which is spicy, this Algerian couscous is not spicy at all, however, you can always ask for a side of harissa & olive oil to go with it. All of their other offerings are quite good, especially their soups (harira, chorba).[CAUTION: EXTREMELY GOOD & FRIENDLY SERVICE HERE]

i am going there tonight! = ] lamb couscous here i come!
