  • Stuck in a neglected corner of the city, north of where the subway ends (or where it starts, I suppose, depending on your perspective), is this little gem of a place with food that will linger on your palate long after the meal. My wife found it through serendipity more than anything. It was 8 pm on a Saturday in late September, and we were hungry. The place was packed. For very good reason, as it turned out. She ordered a bowl of lentil soup and an assortment of appetizers - patlican ezme (babaghanoush), hummus, a delicious, fresh-tasting tomato salsa (or at least that's how it tasted) and the winner of the evening, a walnut spread that immediately made it onto our list of our favourite dishes in the city. I had the Imam bayildi tabagi, eggplant roasted so that it was supple, and yet firm enough to hold a fabulous mixture of sautéed onions, tomatoes, garlic, parsley and peppers. The dish comes with two half-eggplants, rice or bulgur, and a side salad. It's all fresh and lovely and delicious. Notwithstanding, you'll want to save room for dessert. The baklava has so much butter in its flaky pastry that it makes you wonder if there's such a thing as too much butter. If the answer is yes, and this is how good it tastes, then I'm ok with it. My wife went with Noah's Pudding, a heavenly concoction of barley, legumes, dried fruits, and nuts. The server warns us that it's made from scratch, and takes about 15 minutes to prepare and cook. Again, well worth the wait. The gracious owner stops by after we've already ordered our dessert to offer more of it on the house. We decline politely, and she insists, then brings us a takeout box so we can carry it home with us. When we also decline the Turkish coffee because of concerns over the caffeine at that hour, she presents a voucher for a free one on our next visit. The table next to us is populated by a group of gregarious Libyan men who've driven in from Hamilton, and continually offer to share their food, which is so plentiful their table is groaning under its weight. They inform us that this type of meal is more enjoyable when it's part of a social experience, which pretty much sums up the whole evening.
