| - First customers in as usual we were greeted by a BUS BOY as plenty of seating choices here. The booths next to the open kitchen? The tables next to the floor-to-ceiling glass watching retired people shop at Longos for bread? This whole plaza has that calm slow and relaxing feel to it that makes me wish I was in retirement myself.
There are no entrances from the outside, ONLY after you enter the mall entrance can you get to the Shoom Shoom entrance. Their decor is modern enough with some colorful plates on the wall for decor. They also have a bar that looks fully loaded near the back.
The Drink menu had MOJITOS and assorted Alcoholic beverages of your choice to enjoy your afternoon. The Food menu was mostly composed of Mediterranean Cold Apps(Hummus, Baba Ghanoush), Hot Apps, Sandwiches(Falafel, Shawarma), Salads, Skewers(Beef, Chicken, Salmon).
We went for the 4 selection MIXED Platter($13.99) composed of Baba Ghanoush, Matbouha(slow cooked tomato salad with garlic, green peppers and paprika), Fried Eggplant Salad, and Tabouleh(chopped parsley, bourgul, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, mint, coriander, lemon juice).
Favourite was the Fried EGGPLANT Salad and least was the Tabouleh. It came with some store(Longo's?) bought Pita Bread. The Waitress was helpful and very friendly as she suggested Beef Skewer when we wanted to get more items to try.
We also got the Chicken Skewer which was grilled but lacked that Mediterranean Marinade intense flavour and it was undercooked just slightly on the last piece. The Beef was perfectly cooked to a medium RARE and Beef is good and tender.
Patrons are mostly represented by LOCALS that has probably grown up on these flavours and cuisines. A couple older ladies had some Mint Tea that looked interesting too while they enjoyed their Skewers.
