Levantine-leaning takeout where vibrant, verdant falafel and succulent shawarma reign supreme.
Three-item menus may be commonplace for food trucks, but they rarely feature at bricks-and-mortar eateries. So, it’s no surprise there’s pop-up roots at this takeaway. The menu is short but mighty, packing serious heat with robust Levantine flavours and Middle-Eastern influence.
There’s a striking simplicity to vibrant sauces like spicy zhug, and vinegary pickled red onions, or the crunchy hit of cabbage with crisp, earthy falafel and charcoal chicken that’s equal parts smoky and juicy. Familiar yet somehow entirely new is the thought, like velvety hummus with a garlic sting or tangy amba (mango pickle) adding its zest. Soft, pliable pita encases everything and takes the shawarma to another level. Take-away dining is seldom put together so well, but the return on investment for flavour outweighs its simplicity.
