This 65 seater eatery is the only vegetarian Mediterranean restaurant in Singapore to offer a veggie shawarma (a kind of mock meat which is made of soy) and other tasty vegetables. From far it looks like a subway outlet with its simple decoration. A favourite of most people is the falafels which is available in 3 different flavours : orignal, basil and sun dried tomato. One can enjoy it in stuffed in pita bread pocket which is available in regular, whole wheat, za'atar or sumac. The outlet also
This 65 seater eatery is the only vegetarian Mediterranean restaurant in Singapore to offer a veggie shawarma (a kind of mock meat which is made of soy) and other tasty vegetables. From far it looks like a subway outlet with its simple decoration. A favourite of most people is the falafels which is available in 3 different flavours : orignal, basil and sun dried tomato. One can enjoy it in stuffed in pita bread pocket which is available in regular, whole wheat, za'atar or sumac.
The outlet also has a salad bar featuring 35 different selections such as fresh greens, sundried tomatoes, olives, sauces, pickled vegetables and different spice condiments.
After paying for my order at the counter, I am given a pagar which will ring when food is ready and also to select the vegetables to build my full pocket sandwich. One have to be patient while waiting as there is only one person making the sandwich. So it takes quite awhile.
For a Full Pocket Sandwich ($10.95+), the pita bread is spread with hummus and stuffed with five crispy Falafel Balls plus the as much as you want vegetables and sauces from the salad bar. I have the regular pita bread stuffed with beetroot cubes, shredded carrot, coleslaw, shredded red cabbage, sweet corns, garlic sauce and Tahina Sauce (sesame seed paste). The sandwich is quite tasty and filling. Although I am not a fan of chickpeas, but the Falafel Ball is very crispy and tasty. The pita bread is a bit tough, and I could feel the pain in my jaw from all the chewing.A highlight here is the Red Shakshuka($11.90+) - a Middle Eastern favourite, this is a hearty dish of eggs poached in a tomato based sauce flavoured with chilli, onions, spices and cumin. Besides the Red Shakshuka, there is also White Shakshuka($11.90+) and Green Shakshuka($13.90+).
The Green Shakshuka($13.90+) is made of Fresh Spinach, Garlic, Basil Leaves, Ground Pepper, Spring Onions, Tomatoes, Onions, and Sweet paprika. I also top up $1.50 for Halloumi cheese. The dish is served in a pan with a pita pan in a basket. It tastes quite peppery. The add-on fried cheese is quite salty on its own. Overall it is a dish which I do not quite take to it.Overall the dishes here are quite unique but I do not seem to have a taste for it. The service here is a bit slow with only 2 persons at the counter. A number of tables are left unclear, which makes the place a bit dirty. Another thing which I notice is that one can help yourself unlimited times at the salad bar, based on what I have seen a couple of customers have done.
