I was a bit bummed that my order got switched around and I ended up with fried eggplant instead of cauliflower, but it was still tasty, if a bit oily. Fluffy pita, creamy hummus, fresh veggies across the board; they've nailed every dish I tried. It's a small but homey space, oriented more for takeout than dine in. We ordered ahead and there was no wait to collect out food. Just be careful pulling out of that small parking lot because there's not much room for error when traffic is bad. I'll have to come back for the cauliflower next time!

While visiting with friends in Norwalk, on a whim, we headed out to Esh for dinner. Despite not…read morehaving a reservation, the appeal was strong enough for us to take the chance that they might not be able to accommodate a hungry party of four stragglers on a Saturday evening. Luckily, a table had just opened up, and as a result, we feasted on the Moroccan cigars (very good), and the outrageously delicious flatbread (with three of the five mezze options). Our selected mezze options were the labneh, spicy feta, and the tzatziki. All were delicious, but the labneh stood out the most. I love labneh. The flatbread was served fresh out of the oven with a drizzle of oil and condiments. It was moist, aromatic, and steamy. Weeks later, I am still thinking about that damn bread. Yum. Since it was my first time, a friend and I shared the Nazareth lamb kebab potpie and the black angus ribeye shawarma. Both were tasty and the portions were substantial. Other friends had the Moroccan style halibut and the charcoal grilled ribeye skewer. The skewer was extra impressive because the skewer...was a SWORD. Everybody enjoyed their meal. With limited space in our bellies, we pushed forward by sharing the kunefe with pistachio. The thing about me is I can't say no to anything containing pistachio. I loved it just as much as the flatbread. 10/10 Overall, I was impressed. The flavors at Esh were enticing and the ambiance is trendy enough. A word to the wise: Esh serves what I imagine folks enjoy regularly in the Middle East for a fraction of the cost. When you visit, be prepared to spend $100+ PP. Fairfield isnt the Middle East, it's Connecticut.

This place is a very solid 3/5. Not a 4. Not a 2. But it's a 3…read more Let me start by saying WOW Kebab was closed for some odd reason today. They're always open. Weird. But this is what finally led me to try Bereket. I live within walking distance and it's always piqued my interest, but I never wanted to be disloyal to WOW, so I'd never actually tried it. Well, WOW wasn't open, so today was the day. I ordered what I would normally get from WOW: the shawarma platter. I thought I ordered chicken, but I guess I hit the wrong thing and ended up with lamb. I like lamb, so I'm not deducting any points for that. My bad. First off, the portion is massive. Definitely bigger than WOW's, with the actual pieces of meat being much larger and more substantial. My big gripe with that, though, is that the huge pieces make it kind of difficult to mix everything together without food falling everywhere. You basically have to lift the meat up, dig down to the rice underneath, move some rice onto another plate, then put the meat back on top to make the whole thing manageable. Quite a tedious process. I'd probably layer everything differently so it's easier to actually eat. The rice was probably the weakest part. There was WAY too much of it, it was overcooked and pretty bland, and you basically get a ginormous mountain. It was split between plain white rice and some sort of brown/spicy-ish orange-reddish rice. Whatever the second one was, I definitely liked it more than the white rice. My biggest complaint isn't even the rice, though. For a platter this big, you HAVE to give more sauce. One tiny little cup of tzatziki just isn't going to cut it with that much food. I'd put some directly on top of the platter and still give a bigger portion on the side. The salad, not gonna lie, was a bit pathetic. It felt like it was just kind of thrown together and didn't add much to the dish. I was hoping it would provide a nice veggie/fresh element to balance out the giant pile of meat and rice, but it really didn't. I was also going to say the dish could use some heat, but WOW (not the other restaurant), that pepper is SPICY. It's good when eaten with bites of everything else, but still... I could've used some red sauce or hot sauce drizzled over the whole thing. Finally, I was a little disappointed that the platter came with pita instead of lavash. WOW feels more Turkish to me, whereas this felt more Greek, especially with the massive gyro-style pieces of meat and pita bread. Overall, I'm not mad at it. It was tasty, the portion is enormous, and there were definitely things I liked. But with Bereket being more expensive than WOW, I'm not sure I'd get this platter again. For the higher price, there were just too many little things that didn't quite live up to par. Solid 3/5.

5- star falafel shop…read more We had a falafel sandwich in a pita and the Fattoush salad. Both excellent. The fries were next-level too (great seasoning / no need for ketchup ) . Everything was fresh, made at the time of ordering- so fries were hot and crispy, falafel was the same as well. Great consistency and flavor on the falafel. It's a small shop with a few tables. It's very clean and inviting. It was quiet when I stopped by but numerous to-go and catering orders were being picked up. Service was kind and reasonable especially considering everything was made fresh. I will be back for sure.

The two times I've been in, they've brought out samples of thier menu items to try. I've ordered various things on the menu: hummus, lebneh, falafel wraps, falafel platters, baked kibbe platters, the green bean side, etc. All have been amongst the best Lebanese food I've tried. I want to expand and try more things, like the chicken and beef kafta. If you have questions just ask. Certain platters come with different items. Some rice, some salad, etc. Thier pita is fresh and delicious, and comes in different sizes. They have a decent sized dining area for dine-in, and the take-out area is right as you walk in the side door. Here you will also find a grocery area with Lebanese essentials. The selection is sizable, and offers items you won't find in a regular grocery store. I stocked up on spices, and coffee. Prices are reasonable, and portions are generous. I will return every opportunity I get.
