"MC Slim JB writes about Anoush’ella for his latest in the Improper Bostonian. The fast-casual restaurant in the South End serves Armenian-Lebanese cuisine, and the mezze play a big role as both appetizers and fixtures in the main dishes, Slim writes. Most are familiar, including what he calls “excellent renditions” of hummus and baba ganoush, plus labne, “a fierce take on muhammara,” and pickled turnips. There are also “pristine, herb-heavy salads,” and warm mezze that feature items like braised beef, roasted chicken, and spiced ground lamb. “An assortment of these plates makes for nonpareil grazing,” Slim writes, while also noting that he would “gratefully wolf down another egg roll m’anoush” at any time. Other highlights: the monk salad bowl with roasted eggplant and a lentil rice grain bowl, along with the sweet s’mores rollup with Nutella, graham crackers, and marshmallows." - Dana Hatic
