| - Went here for my birthday with a group of friends, we got a place on the pretty patio. One of my friends ordered the jallab lemonade which is a middle eastern beverage with date molasses, rose, lemon, soda, pine nuts and raisins. The mixture of ingredients sounds like it would be absolutely disgusting but it was pretty tasty! If you know and love the dark brown italian drink chinotto (or Brio) then you'll like it, it tastes a lot like that. I ordered the beirut sangria, which was passion fruit juice, watermelon juice, st. germaine liquer, white wine, prosecco, orange blossom and mint-it was really refreshing, the watermelon is the main flavour that comes through.
For appetizers we shared the hummus and the fried cauliflower with tahini. Both were delicious!
For the main dish I ordered the kefta (meatballs of lamb and beef mixed with a side of rice and grilled vegetables). The meat was cooked perfectly and had great flavour and the rice and vegetables went well with it. All grilled meats came with rice and vegetables. My friends got the salmon, farm-raised chicken, and one of my friends ordered the falafel balls with rice that was mixed with lentils and tomatoes. The falafel dish was the best in my opinion (I tried it), it was spicy and delicious.
For dessert I had the mango sorbet which was a pretty good portion and had amazing flavour.
Definitely recommend this place, we all loved the food so much and it has a great ambiance! Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the waiters' multiple mistakes-forgetting to give my friend change until we pointed it out, charging the wrong price and having to go through the transaction again.
