Next visit totally blown away OMG Syrian Chicken Shawarma Fatteh bowl, absolutely best flavor loaded bowl ever eaten . It's my new addiction, a bowl is plenty to share outstanding a must try . I'm also addicted to
The un-puréed eggplant salad with finely chopped tomatoes, onions, parsley, and pomegranate molasses is traditionally called Baba Ganoush, totally different from the Lebanese version WOWED. Finally a hot sauce like no other a medium plus hot Shatta wowsa, it's so uniquely hottness Yummy. Ask for the SHATTA It's spicy, garlicky, slightly tangy, and deeply savory thanks to the olive oil base.
