| - I went here on a random summer night, looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, flavourful and ethnic... and this place delivered!
We ordered the "salad" to start which was made out of eggplant puree, tuna, olives, capers & olive oil. Served with pita bread. Not exactly your typical salad being smooth and flavourful, a little bitter but delicious none the less.
The lamb sausage or merquez was almost like sausage filled with kebab. Tomatoey. Spicy. Complex. This is my repeat order dish at this place, and I havent found anything in the city that comes close.
The lamb couscous with chickpeas was fragrant, mild and had a bit of a lamb-y smell to it if you know what I mean.This dish was more about the textures than the taste. Not a repeat order but i didnt mind trying this out.
The service was great, and the server was attentive, however i wouldnt go here when you are pressed for time as the food takes a long time to get to the table especially on busy nights. In the summer you need to be willing to put up with some mosquitos, as there is no airconditioning here and many parks nearby.
One of my favourite parts of going to this place was the complimentary honeydew slices served at the end. Perfect end to a delicious meal.
