A few weeks ago, I headed off to local Middle Eastern restaurant / institution Marouch for the first time to enjoy some hummus, pita, and various other delectable treats from the Fertile Crescent. Joining me in the fun was my old friend and Metromix contributor Katherine Spiers, who for the past two years or so had been goading me into trying this fabled eatery. It was worth the wait. Photos of our culinary adventure after the jump.
“Delicious” doesn’t even begin to describe this silky, amazing hummus.
Fattouch: a surprisingly refreshing salad of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers, among other things. Did somebody say LOVELY?
Kind of the best ever. At Kat’s recommendation, we got the Yogurt Kebab, which is pretty self explanatory. So very excellent.
We also got some shawarma, which was very good, but not necessarily any better than what you’d get at Zankou Chicken, which incidentally is cheaper.
Here’s Kat enjoying her meal. Let me tell you, she’s having the goddamn time of her life.
And here’s me clapping along to someone’s birthday celebration. It was a festive affair.
So that’s it. I hope to go back and explore the menu further. To find out more about the restaurant, click here, but be warned that the site features softcore porn music.
