Ever since Kennedy Town cemented its status as Hong Kong’s trendiest hangout, the dining scene here has been bustling. Adding to the eclectic mix is this quaint family-run restaurant churning out Middle Eastern dishes prepared by a husband-and-wife team.

Starting the meal with a Mezza Platter is a must; the Falafel with creamy dips such as hummus, baba gounash is a great introduction into the world of Middle Eastern flavours. Cheese-lovers will delight in seeing the slabs of halloumi that are a constant on the menu, pan-seared with golden-brown crusts. For mains, go for the kebabs. The meat skewers — your choice of lamb or beef — are well-seasoned with a mix of spices and herbs, so the grilled meat is tender and deeply flavourful. If you’re after a main dish that’s less heavy, the tangy Fish Tangine with a side of cous cous will easily do the trick. Save space for desserts like the Kanafeh, flaky cheese pastry soaked in a saccharine sweet syrup that’s akin to a little slice of heaven. (Nov 2019)

Try the succulent lamb or beef kebabs or the hearty fish tagine with couscous." -The Loop HK
