This modern Middle Eastern finds its home in Clerkenwell, and boasts rustic-chic interiors such as exposed brick walls and distressed flooring. The space is given added warmth by scatter cushions and decorative ceramic plates lining the walls, while the regularly-changing menu majors in contemporary Middle Eastern fayre.
Dishes you might find on the short, but considered menu include heritage beetroots paired with goat’s cheese, or sautéed chicken livers in an onion and white wine sauce. Sides to try might include tahini or merguez sausage, while traditional desserts see the likes of rice pudding topped with raisins, and tahini ice cream drizzled with a caramel sauce.
To wash down your meal, you can opt for wines and Middle Eastern beers, or choose from a selection of teas. Prices are pocket-friendly as it is, but a £5 daily lunch deal is perfect for those looking to save some extra pennies.
