This little bistro has a tight menu full of inventive takes on Israeli cuisine. It's a small place, but very cute and the staff was super welcoming. They were also apologetic, because our table wasn't ready until half an hour or so after our reservation because of a lighting issue (we just headed to the nearby square for a couple drinks before, no big deal). The only service hiccup is that when we asked our waiter for recommendations, he talked up the grilled olives and the chicken, and then informed us they were out of both. Which was just kind of funny. Otherwise, they kept the food and the wine coming, and we had an excellent time. We ordered nearly the entire menu, and every dish stunning visually, and equally as tasty when we got down in there. It's hard to choose favorites, but the tuna crudo (layered with melon) was a perfect starter, the lamb kebabs were insanely flavorful, and I kept going back for the roasted eggplant with its addictive goat cheese sauce. The dips (muhammara FTW) are also not to be missed, and you should probably order extra fresh, fluffy pita to swipe through all the sauces. All in all, a wonderful meal.

We stopped in for lunch and were instantly greeted and shown to a table for two. We started with tea and espresso, both rich and full bodied. Next, I opted for the lentil soup and was blown away at the depth of flavor for such a simple dish. I then had the basics, a falafel wrap that was simple, packed full of flavor and was incredibly fresh, the pickle was the perfect touch. My husband loved his grilled chicken kabobs with tangy garlic yogurt, again a simple dish with fresh ingredients that was perfect. To end, we went with the baklava assortment, each tangier and better than the first. A wonderful lunch.

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR DINNER IN LISBON…read more============================================ I booked a reservation for our party of five for dinner at Sumaya on Monday, July 8, 2024 and I have to say I am a huge fan. If I ever visit Lisbon again I would definitely book a reservation there. Even my husband's cousin who has been a resident of Cascais for decades loved it and said she would go there again which is high praise. Not too shabby of a find from an L.A. East Yelper. We started off with a pitcher of their passion fruit sangria which was amazing. There was no wine in this sangria. It had vodka, rum, passion fruit and lots of other things. I am kicking myself for not ordering another pitcher of that. Definitely order that. We ordered the Sumay Grill to share which I also recommend. It has the best thinly sliced shawarma, lahme, kafta and shishtaouk. My daughter-in-law ordered some more chicken shishtaouk. Their garlic sauce was amazing. It reminded me of Zankou Chicken in L.A.. Their taboule was the best I have ever had in my life and I loved their baba ghanouj too. This was most likely my favorite meal of the nine days we were in Portugal.

I heard it's hard to get a table here so I was pleased to have been able to sit outside facing the praça. I settled on the calamari and it was the best thing ever! It was lightly fried with just enough seasoning. The presentation was beautiful and the yogurt sauce, herbs + couscous complimented the calamari perfectly. Every bite tasted fresh and flavorful. A truly 10/10 memorable meal. I regretted not being more hungry because I would have loved to have sample more items. Dessert seemed to be popular too. Cafeh Tehran will undoubtedly be on my list again the next time I'm in Lisboa!

We have eaten middle eastern style food before but weren't specifically familiar with Syrian food. The host was very accommodating and made some fantastic recommendations for small bites. The lamb dish was great, the hummus was delicious, but the real star was the falafel that we had. I've never quite had anything like it, even having had falafel several times. It was the perfect balance of moist on the inside and well-done light crust on the outside. I'd come back here just for that! don't forget the Syrian wine & Arak , red beer amazing the use IPAD as menu super Hi-tech :-) If you find yourself in the area you'd be well served to visit.

They treated me like I was inconveniencing them - didn't greet me at the door, I don't think they even said anything to me. Oh, and I was the only patron at that time, so there's no excuse. And when a second solo patron came in they literally sat him directly behind me so that the back of his chair was literally inches from the back of mine! Keep in mind, the whole restaurant was empty! I had to signal to the hostess when I wanted water, and again when I wanted to order, since no server had come to check on me. The food was definitely made with love, I just wish they could get their staff to care half as much.
