Hummus/Pita - this was complimentary and the first place, after eating at 30 restaurants in BA where the bread came out warm! Shawarma - I had over 3-4 shawarmas in BA and the shawarma here was the best one, if not the only good one I had. There is flavor in the shawarma sauce and the bits of pickle add complexity. Bife de chorizo / Grilled Beef - the sirloin steak was cooked exactly how we asked, medium rare. The accompanying fries were crispy and topped with paprika I think. Mixed Grill - consisted of shish tawouk, shish kebab and chicken kebab served with a dip of hummus, pita and french fries. The shish kebab was moist and had a smoky flavor, it was my favorite. The owner spoke to us at great length during our meal and after our meal. He told us his story of coming to Argentina as a trained chef. It is his intention to serve zabiha food to people of BA and tourists like us! Baklava - he offered us complimentary baklava which was sweet like the baklava. No exaggeration at all, this was the best baklava I ever had. It wasn't messy to eat and each layer stood on its own. The top layer was thick and crispy at the same time, not sure what phyllo dough is used but what a well done baklava. ALSO - the menu has such variety. They have burgers, shawarmas, steaks, grilled salmon, quesadillas, sandwiches, salads and wraps, etc. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I wanted to try this restaurant ever since I knew I was going to be in Buenos Aires. I missed the…read morepopup that Chef Tomás Kalika had at Intesect by Lexus in 2019 where my son-in-law was a sous chef. This was my opportunity. I seized it. I secured a reservation for my wife and I and was not disappointed. Situated in a neighborhood not unlike Surfside in Miami, this so-called Mediterranean restaurant exceeded all my expectations. From the greeting we received upon entering; to our server, Mariano, explaining portion sizes as well as the many dishes in which my wife could order or that the sous chef could alter due to allergies; to the suggested wines that may accompany our order. I had my heart set on BABA GANOUSH appetizer and PASTRAMIED RACK OF BEEF- their signature dish; the Baba Ganoush had tomato in it so that was out for Edna but another eggplant dish was substituted and it was just what the doctor ordered. The Pastrami preparation I opted for was not available but the PASTRAMI WELLINGTON: Beef Short Rib Pastrami, Mushroom Duxelles, Swiss Chard and Dijon Mustard; Served with Date Demi-Glace and Assorted Peppercorns, I eventually ordered was to die for. Edna opted for the fish of the day which was MULLET in a fine sauce made with Pastis. For dessert, I wanted something different and we got it: PUMPKIN, BLUE CHEESE AND MISO consisting of nixtamalized Pumpkin, Blue Cheese Mousse and Pumpkin Tofee with Miso. it was a small portion but it was delicious. A few words about the ambiance: the inside was beautifully decorated; the lamps hung in a low glow to accentuate the dark wood walls; the Michelin certificates proudly hung in a discreet spot; an outdoor section had been assembled to accommodate the throngs of diners as the interior is on the small size. Geez, it was only a Monday night!
