| - I came here for a family dinner because Pai, next door, had a 1 hr wait. Surprisingly, there was no line up here on a Sunday evening. I had been wanting to come here for a long time now, but I can never get a reservation for the time slot I want. You can imagine my excitement when we walked in and got a spot.
All the plates here are tapas style and designed to be shared. The prices look pretty good at first glance, but you should remember that the portions are small and for 3 people, you are encouraged to get 6-8 dishes. It adds up.
We had the roasted red beets labneh dip with bread and lamb ribs to start. The dip was amazing and the bread made it that much better. It was topped with toasted coriander and sesame seeds (I love the smell of both). The lamb ribs were good, but my mom didn't like them because they smelled/tasted really game-y.
We then had the turkish dumplings and mejadra rice. The dumplings were in a sauce and the eggplant filling made it quite mushy. It was tasty, but not what I'd normally expect from dumplings. The rice was incredibly yummy. The dollop of yogurt and fried onions on top were a great touch. The rice was longer grain than any rice I've ever had before. To compliment everything, we ordered the brussel sprouts, which I can easily say was one of my favourite dishes that meal.
We ordered the ice cream sandwich pizelle dessert - it came with 2 sandwiches. SIMPLY DELICIOUS. Can you tell I really like ice cream yet?
I can't comment on the drinks because we didn't order any, but I watched the bartender make fancy drinks the whole night and admired the wine wall!
