Homemade is so much better.  I would not get these store bought unless it was from a specific Middle Eastern market.  I believe OP is making them.  I would keep them vegetarian since you already have a lot of meat on the menu.

Honestly, you are having a lot of food.  I would like date some nicely arranged cut fruit and really good dates for dessert.  That is what you you typically get in a Middle Eastern home anyhow.  Plus coffee/tea[/quote]

Thanks for this feedback. Yes, I would make them at home. I often get supermarket ones to satisfy my craving but I'm usually disappointed.

I appreciate your feedback on the amount of food and editing the menu. I would do the dolmas if I didn't do the lamb kofte. I was thinking something with meat in the apps might be good since all the other apps are vegetarian. Which is why I was leaning toward meat-stuffed dolmas. What do you think? But perhaps I just do two...hummus/pita and another. I just happen to like the zucchini fritters more than dolmas.

And I hear you on the dessert. I'm not a big dessert person myself but I think our friends, not to mention my husband (ha), would appreciate a more traditional dessert course...traditional by U.S. standards, I mean.[/quote]
