Okay, then! Round one: two kinds of hummus, both good, slight edge to the traditional; foul, which was excellent, and some very nice pita that I managed to eat only one of.
The brains of the operation. Reviews to follow from the people who ate this.
Lamb. Ditto.
Fish stew, with tilapia (inoffensive, nice texture), zucchini, celery and tomato.
Couscous in a pyramid shape because Egypt, I guess.
And a custard-filled pastry, which was lovely and seemingly seconds from the oven.
There was more offal that I didn’t get pictures of - perhaps someone who did will post them. Also some extra desserts prepared by @Saregama, one of which was a semolina cake, which the restaurant owner tasted and deemed “very close” to correct.
All in all, a very good - and enormous - meal, and great to see everyone, of course!
