Review
First thing first let me exactly brief you about the dishes we had and its authentic taste
Hummus: Hummus is a food dip or spread made from cooked & mashed chickpeas blended with olive oil, tahini, garlic, lemon juice and salt. This was frankly made very authentic however it was cold. Eating cold hummus is like eating hot avocado, it just doesn't fit the bill. One thing chef should remember that hummus is eaten hot and not cold.
Greek Salad: Greek salad is made with pieces of tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, onion, feta cheese, and olives, seasoned with salt, oregano and dressed with olive oil. I don't have much to say but it was done beautifully.
Falafel: Falafel is a deep-fried patty made from fava beans or ground chickpeas. Actually, it's a Middle Eastern vada or kinda. It was done well, and I liked it.
Pasta: Red and white sauce pasta both were served and it was delicious. As Indians, we expect spice which was lacking in this but if you are from another country, you would probably love to have pasta here. The juicy layered pizza was yummy and was done beautifully.
Baba Ghanoush: Baba Ghanoush is a Levantine cuisine made from cooked eggplant mixed with onions, tomatoes, olive oil and various seasonings. Notice that Hummus and Baba Ghanoush share similar ingredients but the main ingredients differ. I mean, hummus is done with chickpeas and baba ganoush the main ingredient is eggplant. Also unlike Hummus, Baba Ghanoush should be served cold.
Shish Taouk: Shish taouk is a traditional marinated shish kebab of Middle Eastern cuisine. This cuisine is very famous in the Turkish regions. Shish taouk was very delicious and marinated well. The chicken was juicy and well flavoured from the outside as well as inside and the grill was very well done.
Harissa dip: Harissa is a Tunisian hot chilli pepper paste made for people who like little extra spice. The spicy dip went well with almost all the cuisines and it was done beautifully. The spice of chilli, garlic and pepper was giving an exotic blend of flavours and worked beautifully on your tongue.
Zatar roast chicken: Roast chicken marinated in Zatar spices was roasted well, I mean I just don't say nice about chicken if it's not cooked well. Zatar roast chicken lacked a little bit of salt which was a disappointment however the blend of flavours made me hog into the chicken.
Tiramisu: Tiramisu is a popular coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. Well, this was one of the best they served. I mean the tiramisu I have had in other place didn't have much of detail as it's done here. I mean, the tiramisu was yummy and well done.
Blueberry Cheesecake: Dessert made out of Philadelphia cheese was also one of the best dishes I had here. The perfection was very much visible on my plate.
