Panorama - ya, it's a view, but it's also the newest restaurant in Camden. Panorama, at 4330 Lyndale, opened in January and offers huge portions of East African and Mediterranean cuisine - with a Western influence - at affordable prices. And the menu is as huge as the portions -you can get anything from king fish or shrimp, to burgers, gyros and sambusa; but you gotta try the baryaani and the shishkabab. Take it from another Northsider - regular customer Andrew says the meals are very flavorful and delicious, and his favorite is the curry goat. Owners Nura and Barlin say, "You have to come to believe it!" They are hoping to start a daily buffet soon (noon-3 p.m.), but get in there now to taste the newest that Camden has to offer. Panorama is open 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Call 612-522-4343.
