Al Ibdaa
This is a cafe located in Barsha that I was invited to try out.
My experience was fantastic right from before I entered the place. There is public parking right outside the cafe. Also, it's a free parking section.
The interiors feels classy with a use of pastel colour scheme using shades of pink, white, brown, and green.
We started with the Arabic breakfast platter which had a selection of Arabic mezze.
I really liked the falafels. They weren't served in a fancy way but were crunchy and hot, and tasted really good.
The foul had a nice flavour to it, though it was a tad bit on the lemony side, but nothing to complain about.
The hummus had a nice consistency to it, although was served in quite a small portion.
There was labneh too, and I liked that even more.
The platter had salad as well, but it didn't look too appealing; the taste wasn't bad though.
While choosing our drinks, I came across an interesting one - the blueberry lavender mojito. This not only looked lovely when served, but also tastes really good. There was a subtle flavour of lavender along with the blueberry which did not taste too tangy. It was cold and refreshing.
I also had the raspberry mojito then. This one too looked similar, and was fresh, although a bit on the sour side as expected.
Later we called for the penne arrabiata. The texture and taste were really good, and the sauce was a bit on the spicier side than usual but we really enjoyed it.
For our dessert, we first had the kunafa cake. It looked and sounded interesting but the taste was just average. Also, it was a bit too hard for our liking, and I wouldn't recommend trying it. This was the only thing which I didn't like here.
In the end, we had the saffron milk cake. Soft, moist, delicious...just the way it is expected to be.
It was the food presentation and the ambience that you should go here for. If you're looking for a good place for breakfast which is calm and classy, yet reasonably priced, then this is a fantastic choice.
