"At the Mediterranean couscous, tapas and hummus bar Birona, I found there was too much going on across its two menus and the food stumbled as a result: décor and cocktails get a nod, and the hummus plate and shakshouka fare well, but the chicken shawarma plate was a “slow train‑wreck” of collected spreads and fillings. With so much to choose from for dinner, Birona would benefit from a more “streamlined” treatment to trim down and refine the selections." - JP Karwacki
