Went here last week with my partner. This was not our first time. We are big fans of this place for the atmosphere, service and food. We appreciate covid has posed a lot of challenges on business such as this and wanted to support local.
When we arrived we were greeted with a damp/mouldy carpet smell. It was pungent and rather off putting. I was hopeful this smell would have gone by the end of the evening but sadly it remained the whole time.
We ordered:
Malofouf (cabbage rolls) - entree
Delicious as always- would definitely get again
Felafel entree
Really delicious- the actual felafels are perfect. And clearly fried fresh. The sauce and salad are perfect accompaniments, all fresh and tasty.
Shish kebabs main
This dish was excellent but we only got 3 skewers. There was also a little too much raw onion for my liking but I just pushed it to the side. Meat was delicious, rice was good accompaniment, a wedge of lemon would have been a perfect addition though. Also- both my partner and I couldn’t help but notice that the takeaway menu version has 4 skewers but we only got 3, and our eat in version was $10 more than the takeaway version. We did get the side of the beans- which were super tasty, so maybe that’s what you’re paying extra for but I do find it cheeky that it’s one less skewer.
Turkish delight desert
This was beautiful there were two types. Not sure of exact flavours as it doesn’t say on the menu, but one pink one yellow. If I had to guess I’d say the pink was classic rose flavour and perhaps the yellow was lemon? Either way both delicious. And we also had some traditional tea which went perfectly to round the meal off.
All in all a good solid local. Will go again and would Reccomended. I just hope they get rid of the awful smell by next time.
You definitely enjoy the great food here, and staff will look after you carefully and politely. However, this place is far too noisy, a bit dark like a jazz club and the grand total in the bill scratch your credit card. So, I'd say you must visit this place to enjoy the taste, but perhaps can't be a regular destination for me.
The whole experience was great. Dips, entrees and mains were lovely. Service excellent. Highly recommended.
