"There’s nothing common about the breads and pastries at this warm Lebanese bakery opposite Victoria station. The best stuff is from the made-to-order menu and the musakhan manouche, a tangy, sumac-heavy shredded chicken and red onion flatbread, is our favourite. The lamb shawarma ka’ak is a close second, which is filled with tender slow-roasted lamb, pickles, and creamy, smoky tahini sauce. When the weather’s nice, the tables outside are perfect for a za’atar-dusted brunch." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
