Silvana
W 116th and Frederick Douglass Blvd, Harlem
Taste: SGFI
Value: Fine
Booze: Yeah
Something Going For It — decent range of decent middle eastern options, cool music bar.
Remarks
Hipstery places are fine as long as the food is up to scratch. The falafel was more crunchy than crispy and not my favourite. You can get hummus and tahina elsewhere. Their crispy eggplant is good but it doesn't make up for the rest and everything took a bit too long to be made.
I'll be back to try the rest of the menu because I'm a slut for middle eastern but I think we can do better. They do have a vegan shawarma though so curious to try it.
We did go back on a Friday night for their live music, they've got a cool basement downstairs. They have a very heavy pour on their drinkable $6 house wine.
Last sampled 4th November 2021.
