So glad I gave this place a try!!! My fellow foodie friend recommended It once It opened but the menu was so strange to me that I opted out. Until today. Boy, am I glad she convinced me to go!!!
I chose the bowl with saffron rice. I didn't recognize the little black bead looking grains so I didn't add them. In case you're interested, they are lentils.
To my bowl, I chose lamb meatballs, feta and tzatziki spread, veggie toppings and a side of lemon herb tahini. It's served with a warm pita bread. My first bite was so good - pretty sure my shoulders did an involuntary boogie dance in joy. Everything complimented the other. I asked for a couple falafel balls, just to try them out. They are so not what you'd expect! There's a certain distinct flavor that i can't seem to figure out - whatever it is, i like it! The chickpeas weren't ground to a pulse like the traditional falafel. Instead, there a whole pieces of chickpeas. This was a great surprise as the chunks gave a nice texture to what is usually a mushy ball of chickpeas. The best part of the meal are the sauces. Tear off a chunk of pita and dip it into any one of the sauces in your bowl or in a side of dressing of your choice - it's as addictive as the free chips and salsa you get at Mexican restaurants. I didn't venture out too much since this was my first taste but now I will be sure to try a little of everything!
