We ventured down to Elgin Street to an institution named Abhla's -- has been around for 30 years and while there were many awards on the walls, this was not a place you came for the decor. The service was bright and friendly, and they asked us would we like to start? where there any dietary requirements etc
Then the degustation begins........the Mezze dips (wow - the Babaganous with texture and smoky flavours were amazing. Abla Amad the grand old lady herself started walking around and welcoming you into what then felt for a moment her home. Ladies Fingers, Vine Leaves, Hummus, Falafel, Makaneek, Kibbee, Tabouleh, her famous Chicken Almond Rice, Coffee and Baklawa. The food goes on and on.
By the time you are ready to leave you realise that your car is parked too close and you need much more time to walk off this meal. If I had to put this into words you feel like a well-fed Lebanese Prince and Princess.
Amazing.........and now I understand why you can't get a table and need to plan in advance.
