  After playing tennis with a buddy, we were famished. We’d originally planned on going for Italian but on the walk over, I spotted Zezafoun Syrian Cuisine, a Syrian spot. Never had Syrian before so we were both intrigued. It’s right next door to Coquine.We dropped in on a Monday evening (around 8:00pm). There was only one other table eating but then a couple more groups showed up for some late eats. Our server was sweet and friendly. One of the sisters was even more so! Great hospitality and genuity.The menu is split into breakfast, salad & soup, mezza, wraps, dishes of the day, Saturday brunch, side plates and desserts. The dishes of the day is where it’s at. They had two main meat dishes, two vegetables mains and a smaller vegetable option; all looked amazing.- Vine leaves ($3.99 for 3) – stuffed with rice, tomatoes and lemon. Three tiny pieces but they were tasty little things.- Fatoush ($7.60) – romaine, tomato, cucumber, toasted pita chips, sumac and a lemon garlic dressing. Didn’t taste like romaine lettuce to me. Pretty sure it was tasteless, nutrition-less iceberg. Blah. The salad was unfortunately underwhelming.- Burgul bbanadora ($11.95) – one of their dishes of the day, bulgar in a tomato sauce. Fantastic! Sauce was full of depth and flavour. If I was a vegetarian, I’d be in heaven eating this. The only odd thing is the vegetable and meat dishes are the same price. Huh?- Riz biljaaj ($11.95) – rice with chicken and a side of yogurt sauce. The chicken was incredibly tender yet flavourful. Wish they threw in another chicken as we both devoured our own piece.- Khalto’s qashta ($2.90) – this looked almost like baklava but the inside was stuffed with the cheese. Really light. Loved the texture of the cheese inside. It reminded me of a Greek dessert.Wish I could come back to try more of those divine daily dishes. 4.5 stars. cherrybobombs.wordpress.com
