MIDDLE EASTERN
This bright, buzzy and popular Israeli-run vegetarian restaurant is our favourite for fresh
and light Middle Eastern dishes. The menu spreads to crêpes, soups, zucchini pie, coconut
tofu and
ziva
(pastry fingers filled with cheese), as well as a great meze sampler of hum-
mus, felafel and
labane
(sour cream cheese) served in neat little brass bowls. The fresh
mint lemonade is a lifesaver on a hot day. All seating is on cushions on the floor; you have
to take your shoes off so make sure you're wearing your clean pair of socks. A small stand
at street level serves takeaway felafel wraps (Rs 155).
