Dinner with Partner after attending a charity event nearby. Have been meaning to come here for the longest of time having heard so many positive reviews about it and I have to say that our dinner did not disappoint. Hummus and pita bread to start. Hummus made of chickpea, tahini (or tahina, a Middle-Eastern condiment made from ground sesame. A major ingredient in hummus) and green zhug (a type of hot sauce) was buttery and flavourful. Perfect complement for the freshly made pita bread.Upon the

Upon the server’s recommendation, we also ordered the Baked Halloumi with pomegranate molasses and oregano. Not exactly a fan of hallloumi, which is a Cypriot cheese traditionally made from goat's and sheep's milk, a semihard, unripened, and brined cheese with a slightly spongy texture; but Francis had its heaviness removed with the citrusy pomegranate molasses and oregano.
For mains, we ordered beef short ribs with yogurt, cucumber, dill, tomato sauce. The short ribs were flavourful and melt in your mouth tender.
Smoked carrots with spiced honey and almond. The carrots were fresh and candy sweet.
To end, we ordered olive oil cake with candied olives and bay leaf. Cake was fresh out of the oven and had a nice caramel flavour. Loved it.
Overall, an easy neighbourhood restaurant serving quality Mediterranean cuisine that I would return to.
