Dishes mentioned
The Beast
The beast is a massive mixed grill with a huge pile of meat. The flavour instantly took me back to a great barbecue my dad did in 1995. It’s absolutely sensational – some of the best grilled meat I’ve had.
Hummus
The hummus is creamy and tasty. I really liked it.
Parsley Salad
It’s a very summery salad with loads of za’atar on top. Light and refreshing.
Kibbeh
It’s like a samosa or a Scotch egg – the kibbeh. Really good, a nice pre-beast snack.
Shawarma
The shawarma is packed with flavour, tender meat. Unbelievable.
