"In a stone-arched, homely space that recalls Bait Maryam, I appreciated Salam Dakkar’s elevated Levantine menu that reads like a refined family table: starters, salads, hot and cold mezze and comforting mains. Standouts include the 48-hour fermented khobez al bait with lebneh crème and confit garlic, punchy muhammara with walnuts and pomegranate, jumbo grilled shrimp on tomato salsa, and the memorable labneh crème brûlée served with homemade za'atar ice cream." - Claudia de Brito, Sophie Prideaux
