Soufi's is a small, intimate cafe that exudes warmth from the moment you step in. Be it the beaming smiles of staff that greet you or the decor on the walls / quotes written on the napkin boxes resting on tables, you feel welcomed and excited to try what they have to offer.
The menu offers a variety of Manaaeesh (flat breads) and Knaffeh (a sweet seal to the flavourful savoury meal).
This was my first time. I ordered 2 Manaaesh (Zaatar and Sujuk) and a Knaffee. One bite into the Zaatar Manaeesh I experienced a burst of flavours with the labneh, tomato, cucumber and mint it was topped with. It was delicious and so refreshing! Sujuk, a minced meat Manaeesh, was recommended by my friend who grew up in the Middle East. Admittedly, I was most skeptical about this one because I'm not a fan of minced meat on my pizza or Manaeesh. With a quarter of my Zaatar left, I decided to work on this in case I didn't like it and could use the pleasant Zaatar as my last bite. But was I surprised! The meat was very flavourful - an absolute delight. The last one I had was the spinach /lemon / walnut. I was a little underwhelmed because on paper it sounded very good.
The star of the meal was warm knaffee. Sweetened with honey, this is a must have!
