We came in around 6:30 on a weeknight and the outdoor sitting area on State St makes this a prime spot to enjoy Mediterranean food, although the tables outside don't fit more than three or so people.
You get a little romaine side salad with your entree with a oil/vinaigrette dressing. It wasn't mind blowing, but it's a pleasant palate teaser.
We started our meal with some baba ganoush, which was super tasty and flavorful. The pita was mediocre in comparison; it was unfortunately dry.
I had the maqbullah with chicken, which I found to be delicious. The eggplant was a little oily for my tastes, but the spices on the chicken, eggplant, and rice made up for that. The yogurt sauce that comes with was a nice complement, a little acidic to cut through all of the savory flavors.
Our waitress was lovely, kind, and attentive. Overall our experience was good and we would come back to try some more of their dishes. I hope Dubai is here to stay for a while!
