I've visited this Middle Eastern place a couple of times now and both times they were more than accomodating of my needs. I was very impressed, and the food was amazing! The menu is full of shawarmas and salads and not being a huge fan of bread the shawarmas are not ideal. However, I love the fillings! I also love their lentil soup and their lentil rice.
They were good enough to give me a serving that was half the lentil rice and half the lentil soup. The soup is made with red lentils I believe, thick and delicious! The rice has brown lentils and garlic and cooked onions in with lots of olive oil and herbs and spices, I taste fennel seeds bursting when I chew from time to time. The mix alone is enough! But I wanted more. So I got another serivng half of Greek salad and half of tabbouleh. What I love about their tabbouleh is that it doesn't appear to have any bulger in it, or maybe the tiniest bit that I can barely even see, so it is basically lots of parsley and lemon juice and tomatoes. This makes such a great accompaniment to the hearty rice and soup, cutting in with their freshness and tartness. The final addition is some of the slow cooked chicken meat, with garlic and hot sauce on it! Having it served in a container like I did meant that I could scoop the meat out of the oil that collected from it too, which made it healthier to eat.
I threw the salty, caramelised and tender chicken together with the soup/rice and had a mound of salad mix on the side, perfect weekend lunch! I rounded it off with half a pint of raspberries and am about to set to making a hearty tomato based soup packed with veggies like carrots and brussels sprouts and some bits of lamb meat to add flavour. Yum! Looking forward to dinner already!
