finally visited this sought after cafe/restaurant in town.
a nice, cosy cafe. they were sweet to make a table reservation on a busy sunday, something restaurants in the city, do not respect.

ambience- yes, true to their claim, it is indeed a boutique cafe, totally instagrammable if you fancy that. the music was nothing specific.
staff- courteous, well trained. especially theur managers or the perosn who takes orders; who has some good food suggestions.
food-
had ordered
1. cold coffee- 4/5, glad to have basic coffee without any ice cream or sugar.
2. peach ice tea- 4.5/5, one of the best you can get here. not sugary or lacking any flavor. was refreshing and had a nice peach punch to it.
3. murgh cotton kebab- 3.5/5, the presentation was good. chicken was tender and cooled well. but the kebab lacked the basic flavor, other than that of cheese. honestly, would prefer usual murgh tikka or kebab over the cheese version.
4. creole spice chicken supreme- 4/5 a new dish to try if you like your spices coarsely ground and chicken tender.
5. farroj musahab-4/5, wonderful presentation, the tahini flavor was subtle yet star of the dish, the chicken was cooked and flavored well. crisp veggies by the side. all in all, try it for some authentic lebanese flavors. (in the picture)
6. mac n cheese cajun chicken-3.5/5, defenitely not the best you can get. was slightly dry, neither the cheesy component nor the cajun spice of the chicken was impactful.
that being said, do visit the cafe and try few new dishes, you will not be disappointed.
also, looking forward to having the cilantro fish dish the next time. :)
