1. Type of food: 

Middle Eastern


2. What brought you here:

A random weeknight date night. Been meaning to try since we really like the sister restaurants, Bestia and Bavel.

3. Ambience:

Moroccan, 60s-70s art deco. Elevated casual vibe.

 
 
 
 

4. Our favorite dish ordered & why?

I did not expect to say this but, the grilled onion and endive salad. It was really interesting to have the grilled onion to be a major salad component. Good contrast between something fresh and something cooked.

Hummus tahini

 
 

Flatbread chicken liver arayes

 
 

Wood-fire shawarma plate

 

5. What will we order next time?

The green falafel. Would be intrigued to see how a humble dish could be elevated! Also did not get a chance to try any of the desserts so definitely something from that section. This place also has a well known brunch/lunch menu that we would come back to try too.
