We had two types of bread as well as chicken, lamb and excellent meat balls, good rice, hummous, and lots of salad. Baklava and chocolate baklava.


Leftovers wrapped up to take home for lunch next day.

Drinks

To start

I turned down the date drink when they said it was made with syrup. Instead, I chose the yogurt with mint. This was a mistake. It tasted salty and bitter and I did not drink it. Next time, never mind my diet and teeth, I shall try the date drink which sounds more unusual.

To finish

 Lebanese coffee. Served Lebanese style from a miniature metal, waisted saucepan. (Oops - don't call it Turkish or Greek coffee. If you want it boiled up with sugar, you should remember to ask for it. Luckily my husband likes his coffee strong. I like mine sugared, which is why I have to diet at home to control my weight, whilst he diets just to keep fit.



Food - starters and main courses shared

Our food included chicken, lamb, hummous, two kinds of bread, rice, yogurt dip, lots of shredded salad.

Baklava

The baklava was fine. Small size, just right.

Too much to finish.

However, we had food wrapped up to go, no problem, from smiling, serving staff on a dead Sunday night, the ideal time to eat with a toddler because there's hardly anybody to be disturbed and it's only Sunday night, not Saturday night out.

Toilets

The toilets were modern. More than modern.

The ladies toilets are ultra modern with a very effective hand dryer.

Problem
What does a Lebanese restaurant serve? I need time to learn my way around the menu.

Answer
Go on to Zufa's website and you can read all about it. If you are not nearby, or can't wait, you can download their app and order online.

Drinks

Yogurt Drink - Aryan
Juices

Desserts
We'll start with the familiar:
Baklava. It says nuts, without specifying which nuts. Before ordering, I shall ask.

Blinis
Well, I know these. Russian and East European restaurants from the Middle East and more.

Miracle Cake
Belgian chocolate cake.

Date drink
I already know what I want, the date drink. But I once went to a restaurant specially for a speciality and it was not in stock. So I shall check first and ask them to save one for me.
If they have a date drink, I'll definitely make it a date.

I think I'll make one at home first, then see how theirs compares, and what extra ingredients they have to enhance the flavour.

Open Monday to Sunday from around noon until around 11 but check because I was confused between the restaurant opening times and the food ordering times and when I checked a second time they appear to have different opening times on different days of the week.
