| - We stopped by this place for lunch. They have a lunch buffet which starts at 11 am, but we didn't find falafel or the other dishes that we wanted to try, so we chose to go ala-carte. In the beverages, we tried the yogurt drink and turkish coffee. The yogurt drink was very delicious - it tasted like the masala buttermilk that you get in India. The turkish coffee has a nice flavor to it and one sip of that got me addicted. For the appetizer, we had the veggie samosa - again a great dish. It was served with the Tzatiki sauce (which is a cucumber and yogurt sauce) which was great, nevertheless the samosa's by itself has a lot of flavor to it and was yummy. We also tried the lentil soup which was tasty. For the main course, we tried the veggie platter - it comes with pita breads, baba ganoush, hummus, salad, falafel, french fries and onions & jalapeƱos. This was indeed a lot - all the dishes were great. You can have them replace the salad with hummus, if you'd like to. We also tried the falafel wrap which was good too. Finally, the goodness ended on a sweet note with kanafa- this is a very sweet semolina and cheese based dish which I happen to eat for the first time - usually I only see baklava as a dessert option in mediterranean restaurants here, but kanafa was a surprise and we enjoyed it thoroughly. You need to let them know 30 mins in advance as this dish takes time to prepare. Do try this place - its great!!
