| - Loved the Lamb Ribs - super fall-off-the-bone melt-in-your-mouth tender! Love the dukka spices (hazelnut, sesame seed), so fragrant, complimented by the sweetness of the molasses and yogurt.
Also loved the Barbari Bread (more than the beets that it was served with), again with dukka crust, great on its own or with yogurt. Beets were halved rather than sliced, nested on yogurt and honey.
Turkish Manti Dumplings - really loved the skin on these! Can't taste its mashed eggplant inside so even non-eggplant fans can try this one. I just thought there was too much molasses sauce, too sweet.
Crispy Squid - (accidently ordered this thinking it was grilled octopus...) Like little strips of calamari, didn't really like this one, but I liked the aioli type sauce on top.
Jewelled Basmati Rice - a long-grain, loose type of rice with pomegranate, crispy shredded carrots, saffron. Not bad (I actually found it more flavorful the next day as leftovers..)
Spanish Octopus - chewy bite size pieces.. I liked the spoon salsa! Refreshing with a hint of spice.
For dessert I got the Burnt Honey Icecream - very sweet, very strong honey yet addicting! I like the honey crisp on top (sponge toffee), small portion and a melty texture for $3.
Hibiscus rose tea very fragrant and soothing aroma, very sweet if you are into floral/fruity teas.
Overall, enjoyed my first time trying Eastern Mediterranean food (Isreal, Morroco, Turkey) although ~$60 pp is quite expensive!!
