| - I've wanted to come here for some time, especially because the ratings have been so high. Unfortunately I was extremely underwhelmed by my first time here. Yes, my expectations were high, but I am also very familiar with middle eastern flavours. I felt that the food was more experimental/fusion with flavours vs traditional flavours. Also, everything seemed way overpriced for what I was getting.
I had the lamb ribs, fried chicken, and truffle rice. The lamb ribs were coated with too many spices and slightly burnt, so I couldn't taste the meat at all, and the texture was rough and unpleasant. The rice was decent, but tasted more of Korean flavours, so I was thrown off. The fried chicken was good, but just like you'd get at any North American pub/restaurant.
All in all, I was disappointed as the food did not live up to the hype/price, though I really really wanted to like this place. If you are looking for more traditional flavours, there are many great places around that are more reasonably priced.
