Heard of this place from my barber, and it was one of the best mid-priced meals I’ve had. The warm hummus bowls topped with chicken and mushroom were the famous staples, but their take of chicken schnitzel combined with the slightly-sweet challah rolls and koftas pushed past my expectations, and they round things out perfectly with a cool Arak-spiked limonana.

At this point, I would tell you where you can find this gem and sample the fare yourself, but I sadly learnt recently that this restaurant has now closed. Given how unique this place is, I guess I’d have to tour the Middle East in the future to top this experience. My best wishes to chef Ehud Malka, formerly of The Left Handed Chef, at his future endeavors.
