I walked into theirs for the first time to try their Suhur, I was held by a hospitable gentleman who introduced himself as Babar.

“I’m an outsider, just wanting to see what’s on the menu,” I said to him hurriedly. “Become an insider now and join us,” Babar said jokingly.

He invited me to explore the buffet and insisted on trying it by giving me a deal that I couldn’t refuse! As someone who understands food, I can say that it was made with love. Every bite has a different story to tell; I enjoyed every delicious moment. I then concluded my journey with a taste of their Kanafeh, a traditional, Middle Eastern dessert. I’m confident that my tastebuds will be forever indebted — what a sweet, light cloudy Kanafeh it was! The result was an explosion of salty, spicy, sweet, and sour flavors that sparkle with personality yet all harmonized on the plates, a blast of taste indeed.

“You should join us for Iftar; it’s much more colorful than today’s.” He concluded with a smile.

I did, twice!
