Zaroob
Zaroob is a well known name among Arabic restaurants. I've been to their other outlets and the food was good.
As soon as we entered, I noticed that the staff is friendly. One of my friend was vegetarian and she wanted to check if they've got enough choice of vegetarian food. The staff was glad to help and explained all the items that are available in vegetarian.
We started off with hummus and a stuffed falafel, along with a lemonade.
The hummus tasted really good, and the quantity was good too. Zaroob being Zaroob, they get their hummus right.
This stuffed falafel came along with tahina sauce, and khaboos, parsley, and pickled radish. When you have it all together, it tastes great; a tad bit dry though.
The lemonade was served in a nice mason jar.
They had foul (chick peas) too; and one of the dishes is foul jar. The name looked interesting. They actually serve this in a jar. It looks like some dish served during the olden days. Along with it, they give chopped onions and tomatoes on the side, so you can add as per your liking. This tasted pretty good.
After this we ordered the labneh manakeesh. This was delicious. It also had some cucumber, tomato and olives on it. I never expected something so simple to have such a great taste. Add some black pepper and it tastes even better.
After this we ordered, we had a koshari. It is an Egyptian dish made of rice, pasta, and lentils. It is mixed with tomato sauce and some also add chick peas (or meat) and fried onions on top. This was really good. You don't get koshari at all Arabic restaurants, and I would definitely recommend trying this one. The quantity is huge and can easily be shared among 2-3 people.
Overall a good experience; and I like the colorful ambiance too.

A bit of a sad part was that the water from the air-conditioning was dripping on our table and it was a bit unnerving.
