Value:   Good 

Booze: Nah

Something Going For It — good baba ganoush & baklava and other decent handmade middle eastern standards.

Remarks

It strikes you as a drunk college late night kebab shop, but the stuff has a pretty good standard. Everything is handmade and solid. The falafel isn't the crispiest but has good spices in it. The baba ganoush was good, had a strong tahina presence.

I'm not one for desserts but it's a pretty good baklava that's apparently vegan. We all know how hard it is to find good baklava. Good crisp to it.

Last sampled 13th November 2021.
