Great Lebanese in Soho
2016-03-01 1635 浏览
Came alone for lunch, wanted a nice meal rather than the usual grab and run. Menu sounded nice so I went up and had a seat. I ordered the LaMaison Labneh ($48) and Pita Bread (18) to start, the labneh was similar to a tzatziki, with shredded cucumber (I think) through it. The yoghurt was beautiful and thick, and had za'atar sprinkled over the top and a well of olive oil in the middle. The pita was tasty and soft when warm, and a very generous amount. It did go rather crispy as it cooled, though

 For mains I ordered the Roasted Cauliflower ($58) and the Lamb Kibbeh ($108). The 2 dishes did come out staged with a fair wait between them. I think as a soft opening they are still having a few teething issues maybe which is fine, but I think it would have been better for them to be served together. The cauliflower was fantastic, savoury, very spicy. The cauliflower itself was perfectly roasted, not too soft or overcooked, not crunchy either. It was very spicy, with a harissa and lemon juice sauce underneath it and a very liberal spicing on the cauliflower itself before it went in the oven. The harissa sauce was for me the standout, and really made the dish. I feel it would maybe be too spicy for quite a few people out there though. The serving was easily enough for 2 people, being essentially 2 quarters of a cauliflower.

 I finished the cauliflower and waited a while for the Lamb Kibbeh ($108) to come out. It finally arrived and it was also an excellent dish. 3 meatballs served on a bed of labneh with pomegranate seeds and a mint, parsley and red onion garnish/salad on top. The herbs went really well with the lamb and the tangy labneh with the pomegranate providing a sweet tone in the mix. Great dish.

 I also had a glass of a Lebanese red wine ($88), which the waiter recommended after providing me a sample of both reds on the menu to try which went very well with the food. All up the food was really good, I would take friends here. The servings were very generous, I ate way more than I needed to. As a soft opening at the time of writing, they are still a little slow getting food out even though the restaurant was only a third full, but the quality is definitely there. The staff were great as well.

题外话/补充资料： Still in soft opening and the menu says such, not sure if they will change it once fully open. Also they will be selling the ingredients that are stacked along the wall eventually but not during the soft opening.
