Pages and Pancakes

Unfortunately at the time of our visit,our luck seems to be out along with half the menu. Our eager-to-please waiter is forced to shuffle back and forth from the table and the kitchen to check for the availability of dishes. We finally settle on our starters,a Trio of Dips with Warm Pita Bread and Jasmine Scented Prawns with Cilantro Garlic Coulis. The former comprising toasted triangles of pita bread scattered across a platter laden with hummus,baba ghanoush and muhammara. The muhammara is so fresh that it’s akin to biting into a raw red pepper,an experience everyone should have at least once into their lives. The prawns are accompanied by a spicy bean sprout salad,which we actually enjoy. The prawns are succulent and the flavour of jasmine is as fleeting as the scent of raat ki rani on a drive past a park.

Our mains are Pickled Chicken Burger with Pate and Spicy Homemade Bbq Sauce and Mediterranean Lamb Stuffed Peppers. The burger comes with fries fried to a ‘t’ and more bean sprout salad. The combination of the chicken patty and the pate make the burger a tad too fowl-flavoured,a condition much alleviated by the presence of the piquant yet sweet BBQ sauce. The Greek-inspired stuffed peppers dominate this course,comprising a rambunctious medley of lamb and tomato stuffed into yellow and red peppers,roasted and gratinated. The meat is stronger than a phalanx of hoplites with a flavour highly reminiscent of a smoky moussaka. Dessert is almost over,the only representative being a decrepit,gelatinous Blueberry Cheesecake which had seen better days . We’ll have to return for another sampling; book in advance of course.
