Found this spot literally by accident and I am so glad that I did, took a chance and enjoyed a nice meal. I had the Beef Rice Bowl with Korean hot sauce, veggies sizzling in a stone bowl with kimchi on the side.

Superbaba
Falafel bowl
This is one eatery that I had been yearning to visit as I knew all about this restaurant from friends in the restaurant industry. Happy that I had a chance to visit and experience this Middle Eastern focussed spot. I had the Falafel bowl with the fixin’s with labneh, fried cauliflower, pickled turnips, tahini and salad; and the house-made hummus with fresh baked pita, it was a delicious combination.
