Update 31/12/2014: Cafe Najla is closed.
Cindy together with I had a appointment alongside this recommendation from FoodieFi. We turned upwards at almost 8:30 concerned that we'd girlfriend out on a table, but in that place was enough of infinite for us together with nosotros settled inwards to banking concern tally out our options.
The waitress recommended the vegetarian Mezza selection, including delights similar Bazrjan (tangy pomegranate bulgher salad alongside fresh tomato, Aleppo peoppers together with walnuts) together with Salatit Shwander (beetroot together with onion inwards pomegranate dressing), together with nosotros were both sorely tempted. But ane time I'd spotted the vegetarian laid card ($22.50) in that place was no turning back. I was unadventurous alongside my drinks alternative but Cindy splashed out on a sour cherry cordial alongside mineral H2O ($4.50), which tasted equally adept equally it sounds.
First upwards inwards the laid card was a dip selection, including a wonderfully smoky baba ganoush, a garlicy hummus together with a sweetness beetroot based dip. The dips came alongside unopen to wellness vegie dippers but equally good alongside a big pile of bread, together with Cindy was already concerned that we'd over-ordered past times the fourth dimension we'd worked our means through these.
Next upwards were our ii entree sized dishes. The Fatet last Zed (Damascan means chickpea ragout, served alongside rich yoghurt, tahini dressing, pistachio nuts together with crisp pita) was unopen to other inwards the long business of yoghurty chickpea things that we've had around town (and at home) - it was a delicious version of it, exclusively allow downwards slightly past times the sogginess of the 'crisp' pita.
It was closely followed past times the Ful M'dammes (a warm broad edible bean together with Lycopersicon esculentum salad, served alongside lemon, garlic together with tahini dressing). The dressing was super-tangy together with well-suited to the tender beans - fifty-fifty the Lycopersicon esculentum worked inwards this dish. The major work nosotros had was our lack of something to soak upwards all the deliciousness - nosotros in all probability should stimulate got saved unopen to of our dipping bread.
Our salad, Salatit Fattoush (Syrian salad alongside Cos lettuce, grapes together with strawberries, servied alongside sumac together with pomegranate dressing together with crispy pita) was the meal's highlight - the sweetness of the fruit together with the lemony seize alongside teeth of the sumac were an outstanding combination, together with this fourth dimension the crispy pita was overnice together with crispy. It's non something I'd always stimulate got ordered off the menu, but it actually shone.
We were both actually struggling to uncovering room past times this point, then in that place was no disappointment that the laid dessert alternative was a minor plate of glutinous Turkish delight, served alongside mint tea.
I've been turned off Turkish please past times Cadbury, but whenever I've had a serve of the proper stuff, I've actually enjoyed it. It helped to stimulate got the minty tea to accept the border of the sweetness a bit.
Nalja plow on a pretty adept vegetarian feast, together with stimulate got a broad selection of smaller offerings on their regular menu. With friendly staff, a cosy infinite together with a High St location, I was surprised that in that place weren't to a greater extent than people filling themselves alongside Middle-Eastern delights. Their loss I suppose.
