Many middle eastern restaurants do a great job roasting meat, but the key is in sauces, salads, bread, and other sides. Levant is the best I have ever eaten anywhere and it's in Finland?! Crazy. Love it. I make a point of eating here any time I visit Helsinki (which is quite often, I live in Oulu).

Most of the buffet places are just rip off businesses in Helsinki but this particular restaurant provides you the best bang for your buck.

My wife has asked me to write this review, because she is presently in Lapland with a dead phone…read moreand cannot write it herself. Last week she dined at Farouge alone, and was very impressed with both the food and the service. She said the entire staff was very gracious and made her feel very welcome. The spicy shrimp was outstanding, and she recommends the Lebanese dessert assortment, which is on the menu. I would like to add my personal thanks to the staff for treating my wife so well.

Im a huge fan of Pilpel, which is a Israeli falafel shop in London. So when I learned from my…read morecolleague that there's a falafel shop with a similar concept in Helsinki, I begged him to try it out right away. Fafa now has several locations in Helsinki and we went to their latest venture - the shop located near Kamppi. I was very happy to see a Sabich salad featured on the menu; Sabich means typically the addition of aubergines and boiled eggs to the pita or salad. I went for the spicy option and was positively surprised by the genuine kick that the chilli sauce added. My colleague went for the "normal" falafel pita sandwich. My salad was ok to good - flavourwise it was spot on, but I disliked the fact that they puffed up the salad with too much lettuce. Now, don't get me wrong: I ordered a salad after all and now I'm complaining about too much lettuce? - Well, as I mentioned earlier I love the Pilpel chain in London and when they do these kinds of salads, actual lettuce is only part of the equation and the rest is made up of spiced cabbage (both white and red), tomatoes, hummus, onions etc. My colleague was mightily happy with his falafel pita/sandwich and I have to say it looked quite delicious. Overall, I was quite happy with my visit here...and I will definitely return when I visit Helsinki next time. (Oh, only this time I will not sit in, as the smell of fried falafels really stays in your clothes for quite a while ;-)
