After last night I asked myself, "Why have I never been here before?"
It was a slow Thursday night but the service certainly wasn't.
I hate when I go into a restaurant that has six customers (your party being two of them) and the service is ridiculously slow (see my review on Casa Philipina.)
My friend, who brought me into this quaint eatery last night, is pure Pakistani. She raved about how amazing this family owned cafe and market reminded her of home and how they served the best lentil soup and grilled lemon chicken.
I was impressed. Extremely.
The soup was fantastic, the pita bread was warm and begged for me to dip it in a mixture of hummus and cilantro. When the dish came out I stared at it in awe and proceeded to dig in! The rice and chicken was abundant! The chicken was seasoned to perfection and juicy, the hummus and garlic paste was a perfect companion.
My friend then had me share a mango juice and baklava with her and I was in heaven!
I'm also into hookah so I was impressed with the hookah selection and tobacco! Very reasonably priced!
