Roasted cauliflower $188
This is the biggest thing on their PLATED menu that I wanted to try and I’m so glad it’s on their regular menu.
The presentation is on point ⭐️ with a whole cauliflower drizzled with sauces and garnishes with almonds. The server also cuts it into quarters for easier access.
First off. The florets. Perfectly tender and crisp, with a mild smokiness to it. With the tahini it’s very nutty and creamy 👍👍
The green shatta is traditionally supposed to be spicy but this wasn’t at all. It reminded me of a Middle Eastern pesto with coriander instead of basil and more garlic. It’s also creamy and kinda cheesy (?) although I don’t know if they added cheese or not.
The velvety tahini and luscious shatta paired so well with the Heart Baked Pita Bread $68 and I highly recommend eating it when it’s still warm as it’s easier to tear apart and tastes yeastier. And it does get harder as it cools and becomes less pliable for dipping.
The stalk of the cauliflower is perfectly crunchy and firm. A great contact against the tender florets. The stray strands of leaves are also very crisp due to it being deep fried which made it charred and slight burnt (perfect)
In addition, even though it looks like there is a pool of oil on the bottom and being soaked into the cauliflower. The oil doesn’t feel greasy at all and tastes amazing with pita alone. Much like how Italians eat bread with olive oil. The oil moisturizes the pita and gives it a mild taste.
The sliced roasted almonds give a nice texture but would be crunchier and nuttier if it was thicker as it becomes overpowered and soaked either by the oil, tahini or shatta.
The portion of one cauliflower is enough to feed me (a hungry girl) along with two pieces of pita. Didn’t need any dips since I used the leftover oil and sauces from the cauliflower for my bread.

推介 roasted cauliflower ⭐️, pita bread ⭐️
💬 Overall, a delicious dinner yet again. Love the ambiance and food. Cant wait to be back.
I just wish they accept alipay as I hate having to carry so much cash. And I wish their online booking don’t require credit card details.
