| - I came by to Shoom Shoom with two of my girl friends for someone's birthday. The place is pretty large - looks like it used to be an old 90's breakfast joint that they just decided to change into a Middle Eastern restaurant.
My friend ordered the lamb skewer, another friend had the rainbow trout, and I had the cod filet. Initially, we ordered some Moroccan cigars, but apparently they ran out - so they gave us garlic shrimp - on the house. The garlic shrimp was okay, not a huge fan of it though.
My cod filet was pretty good - however, I think I would've opted for the lamb skewers instead. It was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend the zucchini soup if you had the opportunity to get it. It was absolutely superb. Pureed, but tasted like a cream of zucchini soup.
Dessert: we shared a fig kataif and the frozen yogurt (twisted with pomegranate and vanilla). The fig kataif was pretty good at first, but it gets REALLY sweet at the end due to the fig reduction. I wouldn't suggest you to eat it on your own. Even among the three of us, it was still a bit too much. On the other hand, the frozen yogurt was absolutely delicious.
Service was great as well. Our server joked around with us many times throughout the night and checked up on us quite often.
Although it was more on the expensive side, I had a great experience at Shoom Shoom -- not too loud of a place to chat with your friends, and we were there until they closed - they didn't force or kick us out when they were still cleaning up.
