I like making grids. This is the "Chef's Curated Menu" which is basically a tasting menu of some of their popular dishes, but you can also order a la carte. $90 pp, coffee I bought extra at the end ($5 iirc).
- Mezes to start: Hummus (with cute little falafels), Babaghanoush, and the more unique "Banru" which is a spicy three cheese dip that hails from the Armenian majority town of Anjar, Lebanon.
- Bread to go with the mezes
- Mini-Fattoush salad – Personally, I like more crispy greens with my fattoush, but this was fine.
- Grilled prawn on top of smoked labneh
- Manteh
- Lamb chops
- Confit potatoes – The toum here is addictive
- New dessert that's intended to be gluten and dairy free. "Millefeuille" with I believe a gluten free lavash (I'm assuming rice based?), some rice crackers on top, and a resteh cream made from coconut cream. Interesting mix of cultures here, though the overall flavour profile leans Southeast Asian to me.
- Armenian Coffee
I don't have a good frame of reference for mediterranean cuisine when it comes to cost performance honestly, but I enjoyed the meal and was full at the end. Tbh I was having trouble finishing the meal, but I'm a small dude. Highlights for me were the mezes and prawn. I could probably do without the lamb chop and the dessert, but I'm admittedly a bit bored of lamb chops on menus these days, so this is just a preference thing. I want to come back and try their labneh at some point.
