Came here for lunch twice, once on a week day and once at weekend. This place has a bar and about 8-10 regular tables. Ambience is really nice, classy yet casual, perfect for a date or gathering with friends. The first time I came I had a lamb shoulder pita, which was yums as the lamb was tender and the beetroot labneh went surprisingly well (sorry not that familiar with middle eastern cuisine) with it. Okay now this time we ordered pita bread, smoked hummus, beetroot labneh w/ mint, fennel fatt
Okay now this time we ordered pita bread, smoked hummus, beetroot labneh w/ mint, fennel fattoush, charred broccoli, lamb chops, and set yogurt for dessert.

First came the pita and the dips. Pita was so hot that I could barely hold it with my fingers and had to put down for a moment to let it cool off a bit. Both the smoked hummus and beetroot labneh were good. The smoked hummus was denser and had a strong nutty flavour whereas the minted beetroot labneh was refreshing with its slight sourness.

Then came the veggies. The fennel salad had red onions, cucumber, pomegranate seeds and croutons in it. It was fresh just as a salad should be. The charred broccoli was more interesting. The leaves were crispy and tased a bit like 川椒 in Chiu Chow cuisine. The "body" of the broccoli was soft and juicy, not dry or burnt.

Next was the most anticipated lamb rack. It was juicy and did taste quite good, but we have had better elsewhere. We also noticed that the table next to us got thicker pieces which were still pink in the middle. Ours were pretty much well-done. The labneh that went with the lamb chops was basically strained yogurt, which we had never had with a savoury meat dish before. The combination was interesting and gave the dish a unity and complexity not found in the usual steak + side.

For dessert we ordered the set yogurt w/ honeycomb. It wasn't as big as this pic may make it look - it's not the size of a sauce pan so don't worry! It's perfect for sharing by two. The "yogurt" was sweeter than I had expected and not tart at all. To me it tasted more like molten ice cream except maybe thicker and not so cold. I think I would have preferred a little tartness to contrast with the sweetness of the honey crumbs. Still, it was not a bad ending to our meal. Overall we were quite satisfied, and would recommend this place for someone who wants some good middle eastern food in a cosy environment.
