A rich and luscious smoky eggplant dip, though a little too burnt and smoky, just crossing over into being too strong in flavor. Nevertheless still a satisfying mezze.

Served hot, the pita bread impressed with its pillowy soft texture and aromatic scent, a perfect companion to the flavorful mezze plates.

With its finely chopped parsley leaves, tomato and onion expertly paired with cracked wheat and olive oil, it delivered a most refreshing medley of flavors that lightened the palate.

It showcased ovoid-shapes of delicate wheat shells packed with a lush mélange of lamb, beef, pine nuts and onion, best savored with a cool, tangy dipping yogurt.

The spiced ground lamb patties lacked a memorable punch, with a blend that did not excite my palate as much as Francis' version, which had a bolder and more memorable seasoning and texture.

A dilicious assortment was offered, with several styles of the pastry to choose from. We appreciated the variety, as each nut and spice combination tasted as great as the next.

The dessert brought traditional Middle Eastern flair, but we find that its heavy sweetness weighed the light semolina cake down - next time, a lighter sweetness might be able to balance the flavors better.
