We've long been aware of Tiba's Lebanese eatery on Sydney Rd but our few previous attempts at visiting were all comically thwarted. It seems that every fourth dimension we've idea to dine at that topographic point it's been during Ramadan, in addition to thence impossible to secure a tabular array subsequently sunset. Funnier still, our recent successful catch also occurred during Ramadan, albeit at tiffin time. There's far less contest for tables then.
Both of us beingness ravenously hungry in addition to bully to sample across the menu, nosotros didn't pass likewise much fourth dimension perusing the bill of fare earlier deciding upon the $13 vegetarian develop menu. The hold off seemed unfairly long, given how greedy nosotros were in addition to how sparsely filled the eatery was, but when the nutrient arrived at that topographic point weren't whatever one-half measures. We were served a large platter of goods each, amongst a massive pocketbook of apartment breads on the side.
It was an absolute FEAST. The tabouli in addition to chickpea salads were lovely (and non likewise onion heavy) in addition to the stuffed vine leaves, non ordinarily a favourite of mine, fifty-fifty tickled my fancy. The falafel were to a greater extent than or less of the best I've eaten anywhere, merely heavenly dipped into the yoghurt in addition to cucumber dip. But the yoghurt barely got a hold off inwards in i trial I tasted the smoky, silky babaganouge. Incredible! As I receive to fill upwards up, my allegiance shifted to the delightful in addition to slightly-less-rich hommos. The greenish salad in addition to pickled turnip added to a greater extent than or less welcome freshness. The exclusively let-down was the cheese pie, bland in addition to real dry. (Vegan complaint - I would imagine that everything bar the cheese pie in addition to yoghurt dip would live on vegan-friendly, in addition to I'd firm that this plate is nonetheless good worth $13 amongst those items omitted.)
Michael, inwards a heroic effort, most cleared his plate. I didn't. But I didn't regret my lodge i bit. It was a terrific agency to sample Tiba's vegetarian wares in addition to I'll lodge my favourite items amongst confidence side yesteryear side time.
Service was passable - attentive to receive amongst in addition to and so hard to find subsequently we'd ordered - in addition to it could live on remarkably unlike when filled closer to capacity. It'd convey to live on atrocious, though, earlier it discouraged me from to a greater extent than of these falafel in addition to dips.
