Everyone Lebaneeds a bit of falafel in their life 😍 {ad}⁣

⁣

@maroush boasts an impressive vegan menu and they’ve got branches all over central London to get you your hummus fix no matter where you are 📍Here’s what we thought:⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Falafel – Fried bean & herb croquettes w/ tahine sauce⁣

💰£6.50⁣

✏️Tasty but ours were a little dry. Loved the tahine sauce, that saved the dish. The accompanying salad adds moisture too⁣

❓Order again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Vine leaves & courgette stuffed w/ rice, parsley, onions, tomato & spices⁣

💰£16⁣

✏️Liked this! Well stuffed, lovely tomato flavours. Prefer courgette, the vine leaves had a sharpness I didn’t love. Half the portion size would’ve been better, got a bit samey⁣

❓Order again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes, if cheaper⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Pumpkin Kebbeh – layers of puréed pumpkin w/ spices, cracked wheat & sautéed onions⁣

💰£7⁣

✏️Really liked these! Moist, lovely flavours, love the crunch of the nuts, pairs well with tahine⁣

❓Order again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes⁣

⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🌱⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Moutabal Baba Ganouj – (grilled aubergine purée)⁣

💰£6.75⁣

✏️Nicely made, very creamy but a bit too bitter for me. Chris liked this though!⁣

❓Order again?⁣⁣ ⁣No⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Hummus – (chickpea purée)⁣

💰£6.50⁣

✏️Super creamy, lovely flavours⁣

❓Order again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Batata Harra – Cubed, spiced potatoes⁣

💰£6⁣

✏️Well cooked, beaut flavours, loved the vegan aioli too!⁣

❓Order again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Tabbouleh (parsley salad)⁣

💰£6.25⁣

✏️This one’s personal preference, neither Chris or I are parsley fans!⁣

❓Order again?⁣⁣ ⁣No⁣
