Hey y’all, City Editor Aaron here.

A few weeks back, I ate at a restaurant off Richmond Road called Mr. Kabab, 2901 Richmond Rd. It’s a Mediterranean restaurant that’s tucked back in a strip mall, making it very unassuming + difficult to spot from the road. The food was absolutely delicious.

And that got me thinking — What other delicious restaurants could be hidden in strip malls across Lexington? Well, I took to the internet to find out + here is what I found.
