🌱Falafel, tahini⁣
šŸ’°Ā£5.50⁣
šŸ’­ Really lovely flavours! The falafel is moist and delicious, tastes curried! The pickle cuts through and adds a tang. Tahini adds moisture. Parsley flavour stands out too⁣
ā“Order again? Yes⁣
⁣

🌱Romanesco cauliflower, smoked tomato, Ras el hanout popped freekeh⁣
šŸ’°Ā£11⁣
šŸ’­ Cooked well with a nice bite to it but I think the sauce needed a stronger flavour. A little oily for me. Loved the popped freekeh!⁣
ā“Order again? No⁣
