After a year-long closure following a fire, this friendly family-run spot is back serving its Syrian specialties, from pillowy halloumi foldovers and crisp manoush (available dine-in or takeaway) to all-in Syrian breakfasts. A platter of light, fluffy falafel with fried eggs, stuffed eggplant and tangy labne requires a serious appetite, as does its vegan counterpart featuring vine leaves, cabbage rolls and silky hummus.
Good to know: Whatever you choose, be sure to add a pot of fragrant, cardamom-spiced coffee.
