"Championing Balkan cuisine in Umm Suqeim, I admired Stasha Toncev’s passionate, bright restaurant for comforting dishes like phyllo pie and sarma sour cabbage rolls stuffed with minced beef and smoked brisket. For breakfast, I recommend the komplet egg—sunny-side up in homemade bread with cheese, sour cream and beef jus—which encapsulates the homey, celebratory spirit of the menu." - Claudia de Brito, Sophie Prideaux
