What a deal! I came by on a Friday night around 6:30 p.m. with a few friends, and I would highly recommend it for not only great prices (my bill came to less than $10 for both a shared appetizer and a main), but also delicious food!
Although our server did not check up on us (it seemed to have been a rather busy night for him), he was very kind and sincerely apologized for not attending to us. The service we did receive was nonetheless fantastic!
APPETIZER: Hummus + Moutabbal + Tabbouleh with Complimentary Pita Bread
The first thing that caught my attention was the poofiness of this bread (see picture)! It was delightfully warm as well. Out of the three dips, I would say my favourite was the moutabbal - it tasted similar to the hummus, but was slightly more liquid as it contained blended grilled eggplant.
MAIN: Spinach with Cheese Manakeesh *RECOMMEND*
Can you imagine a pizza that is lower in calories but with all the flavour? I'd like to introduce you to the Manakeesh!
It was my first time trying this, and it will certainly not be my last! With soft bread and crisp edges, coupled with a generous amount of cheese and clumps of spinach, this dish was filling yet light! I particularly enjoyed the cheese, as it was distinct from the Western cheeses I am more acquainted with (such as cheddar and mozzarella) - rather, the cheese on the Manakeesh had a stronger flavour and was thicker (in a good way!)
