| - Had an amazing meal here. Admittedly I didn't eat too much, but I really enjoyed what I tried!
I came for a late lunch on a Saturday around 3 pm and there weren't too many people around. The inside area was completely empty, and their adorable outdoor patio was maybe half full. It was a gorgeous day out, so my group of 4 opted to sit outside.
I started with one of their mojito cocktails, the 'from beirut with passion' ($11). It has bacardi, malibu passion rum, fresh watermelon juice, passion fruit, lime mint, and sugar syrup. This was a super delicious and refreshing drink; I could barely taste the alcohol. Would highly recommend it if you like sweet cocktails like me.
I wasn't super hungry, so I just ate some of the shared apps instead of getting my own entree. The falafels ($7.50) here were amazing! I'm usually not a huge fan but they tasted extra fresh. An order comes with 6 pieces so it's great for sharing.
I also tried the homemade lentil soup ($6.50) and the arnabeet ($7.95), which is flash fried cauliflower. I've had daal (Indian lentil soup) plenty of times before, but the soup here uses red lentils and was very flavorful. I fell in love with this dish! The cauliflower was okay but tasted like they had been out of the fryer for a while.
To be honest, middle eastern food isn't anywhere near the top of my favorite cuisines to eat, but if they all tasted this good, I would definitely have to reconsider that...
