Tasty middle eastern food and a nice vibe. Well worth a visit. We have been 5 times and no disappointments. The desserts are limited in number but marvellous. We will be back!
Went here for a late dinner and drinks. There is a downstairs section, which includes the bar, and an upstairs dining section.We had the Lamb Cigars, Braised Artichokes, House Chips and Lamb Shoulder. The Cigars were nice – crispy pastries filled with spiced lamb mince. The Artichokes were well-cooked and the flavours were nicely balanced with eggplant puree. The Chips were also crispy and filling. The Lamb Shoulder was a little bit dry and tough, however good punchy flavours.For dessert, we tried the Pannacotta – delicate texture with interesting and punchy compliments, including the fig-and-date strip and chocolate oil.One small note is that the sides, share plates and grill came out rather quickly after each other, therefore the Lamb Shoulder was also unfortunately a tad cold when we finished the first dishes and finally got to it.My partner and I took advantage of the extensive gin selection available, which was impressive. Gin drinks came in 30ml and 45ml, and came with tonic as a default. Therefore, ask for neat or ‘on-the-rock’, if you prefer. There were also cocktails, and a limited selection of other spirits and wines available.Service was friendly and efficient. Casual ambience. Reasonable prices.Overall, an excellent late-night find for good food and an extensive gin selection.
Over crowded bar and a good 15 minutes wait for drinks. We pre booked a quiet table but we’re seated in the bar with all the drinkers some of which were standing 100mm to 150mm from us. Horrible seating idea and there were better spots available. Staff were nice but obviously the management is a little off the game. No apology from management. We left without eating but luckily there are heaps of places around that quite happily took our 500. Edited from 1.5 to 3 due to management reply. Still don’t know what the food is like but impressed management was onto this.
