Fodor's Expert Review Olivia
The delightful dishes at this Mediterranean restaurant are combinations of Moroccan, Greek, and Turkish flavors based on owners Lior and Yaron Zelzer's family recipes. Start with the Greek or Moroccan tapas and move on to house favorites like the shawarma pita wrap filled with grilled chicken, hummus, tahini, and fried eggplant or the moussaka, a Balkan casserole with layers of ground beef and eggplant baked in a Parmesan béchamel sauce. Everything from the freshly baked spanakopita to the flaky baklava is made in the open-air kitchen. The setting is casual yet romantic, with tiki torches lighting the way to a tropical garden where rustic tables sit beneath a palapa roof. No visit is complete without a bowl of homemade cherry ice cream.
