Description

Beyond the classic spreads, the kitchen serves smoky babaganoush, cauliflower tahini tacos, and a tender chicken shawarma platter topped with a fresh cucumber-mint salad. The brunch menu stands out for its generous array of starters, including warm grilled eggplant with tahini and silan, and fried cauliflower. Mains like the poached-egg-topped hummus shakshuka can be followed by a sesame-based halva dessert that mimics the texture of ice cream. The dining room offers a warm ambiance paired with unhurried service, making it easy to linger.
