This is my second favourite restaurant.
I went there recently as a result of a reccomendation from my sister andI was not dissapointed.
Sited opposite Holborn station wiith a small shop front, I expected a poky little dirty restaruant inside.
Quite the contrary. The interior was well designed, clean and quite spacious.
When seated there is a clear view of the chefs and it is exciting to be able to watch them preparing the food for you!
I ordered a starter of moutabal baba ganoush to chare between myself and three others and the meal deal (a falafel wrap which comes with fries and a bottle of water) for £5.95. The moutabal baba ganoush was the WONDERFUL WONDERFUL roasted aubergine dish. Unlike other restaurants which "claim" to roast the aubergine, this place really did. The smoky flavour was delicious and mixed with yoghurt and tahini it was an absolutely amazing dish. Not only that, but it comes with a whole basket of soft thin light lebanese bread!!! For such a cheap price I had expected fast food standard meal, but this was not the case. The wrap came enclosed in a paper bag so that the wrap stayed hot. Inside it was was stuffed with the perfect amount of falafels with tomatoes and salad. The wrap was not a chewy doughy tortilla wrap, but a soft light one made from lebanese bread. The wrap contained parsely and although I HATE parsley I still give this restaurant 5 stars since the rest of it was perfect! The wrap was the perfect size leaving you comfortably full. The bowl of fries accompanying the falafel was massive!! And although the fries were fries, not home made chips, they were surprisingly nice! They were not fried in hydrogenated fat and they did not leave you with the horrible after taste that mcdonalds chips leave. Service was good and I can't fault the experience!! Excellent! read more
