Description

On Essex Street, this spot serves up a menu featuring beef pita sandwiches, lentil soup, chicken tfaya, and an appetizer trio of spreads. Visitors generally highlight the generous portion sizes and a welcoming, home-kitchen vibe. However, there is some culinary inconsistency: while many praise the rich, hearty flavors, other diners have encountered under-seasoned dishes, such as a tender chicken tagine served with minimal vegetables and missing its expected preserved lemons and olives.
