Main information
Content:
Lebanese restaurant on [[Locale Hills Road|Hills Road]], near the station. It's next door to [[Le Gros Franck]], and it's where the [[Station Tandoori]] used to be. It opened in 2008-ish. There's an open kitchen along one side as you go in, with a grill station including the usual rotating kebab meats and a fryer for falafel etc. There are seats for around 18 or so people on the ground floor (an ornate wrought-iron staircase leads down from here, but I'm not sure if there's more seating down there or not) On [[Kake]]'s September 2010 visit, the falafel (£3.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/5020300769/ photo]</small> were fried fresh and weren't dry at all; the texture was a little smoother than I like, but this is a matter of taste rather than a real criticism. Moutabal (smoked aubergine purée; £4.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/5020257523/ photo]</small> had an apparent smoky flavour and was decorated with sprinkled sumac. The accompanying flatbread came from a packet, and was OK. They don't sell alcohol, but are happy for you to bring your own and don't charge corkage. Not sure of opening hours, but it was open on a Tuesday lunchtime in September 2010, and closed on a Saturday lunchtime in the same month. Accessibility: Large step up to get in. <b>See also:</b> * Photos of the menu as of September 2010: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/5020924402/sizes/l/ page 1], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/5020317233/sizes/l/ page 2] * [http://www.localsecrets.com/showreview.cfm?id=8069 Local Secrets review] <small>Last visited by [[Kake]], September 2010.
