| - Can't stop thinking about our weekend brunch at Fat Pasha. Come here if you're looking for an atypical meal - Jewish food with Turkish and Mediterranean flare.
Oh and come here with a raging appetite because the portion sizes require you to unleash that second stomach you never knew you had.
We ordered the following for two (had two meals of leftovers!):
Shakshuka ($14): sweet and hot pepper tomato poached eggs, sweet peas, grateful bread challah and added lamb meatballs (+$6). This dish is served on a sizzling hot skillet. The eggs are perfectly poached and immersed in the melted tomato sauce. You can eat it straight from the skillet or dipped with the pita bread. The lamb meat balls were what we expected, gamey balls of meat -I wouldn't say they make or break the dish, but a good addition if you're looking to add more protein. This dish reminds me of the Fried Egg and Tomato "Cho J?dàn" staple of Northern Chinese Cuisine.
Brisket Pasha Plate ($16) - Served with pita, tabule, tahini, and pickles. The brisket was tender and flaky. The tabule and tahini made great side additions to the dish. If you order a pasha plate and a salatim, you can opt to exclude the tabule and tahini choices from the salatim (if you're debating between which salatim dishes to order).
Salatim ($32) - Seven sharing plates of dips and salads with charred pita. They were all delish, I've noted my three favourites with asterisks (*).
1. Rapini tabuleh
2. Beet root relish*
3. Butternut squash, sumac*
4. Labneh evoo za'atar
5. Tahini, everything bagel spice
6. Garlic fried tomates
7. Chopped eggplant and tahini*
French Press Coffee (~$10) - Fresh, servers about 3 cups of coffee.
The weekend brunch hour gets busy, I recommend calling in for a reservation. I generally like to be seated at the bar if there is one, that way I can watch the magic behind the preparation of the drinks. In particular during brunch hours, you'll be concealed in the aromatic scents of the French press and espresso maker. Also, water service is always on point when you're near a server.
Overall:
Food: (10/10) - Food was made with fresh ingredients and marinated with a fantastic melody of spices. You do pay the cost for fresh ingredients, be prepared to spend a hefty dollar dining here.
Atmosphere: (10/10) -Bright, clean, and bustling brunch scene.
Service (8/10) - Food takes longer than usual to be served. At times a bit hard to wave down a server (even when seated at the bar).
Bring deep pockets and eat here.
