Lebanese at Kaslik in Soho

All of the things

Fancy gold table!

Delicious dips

Yesterday we felt like being tourists and wanted to go look around town a bit. I also wanted to go out to eat and felt like having lots of small dishes so I used the top table app to find some options of places in Soho we could go and we decided on a Lebanese place called Kaslik which is just off Soho Square. When we got there it didn't really look open but luckily it was. The guy who was working there, maybe the owner, was super nice. He was blowing up balloons for a 21st party they were going to have there in the evening but was really friendly and welcoming.

There weren't any other people in the restaurant when we arrived but a few others came in while we were there. The restaurant itself was really cute, it had all sorts of random lamps and light fittings which were made out of like gold and other metals as well as colourful glass. All the tables were these round gold metal ones which had patterns all over them.

There were so many vegetarian options for us to choose from which all sounded really delicious so we went with an option where you could pick 3 mezze for 10 pounds. We got hummus, baba ganouj, falafel, halloumi, batata harra (spicy potato) and a pastry dish with spinach and pinenuts. We also got some pita bread and complimentary olives.

The olives were really good, some of the best I have had in London. Quentin tried one but he didn't like it. That was good because then I got to eat all of the olives. I don't think they make their own pita bread but is was warm and soft so I didn't mind too much.

The hummus was delicious, so smooth and tasty and it came with extra chickpeas on top. The baba ganouj was good as well, although a little more chunky than I am used to. The falafel was amazing, so much better than the last falafel we had at the toy shop. It had a bunch of flavour and was nice and crispy on the outside but was light and fluffy on the inside.

The halloumi was grilled and chewy, so good! I could have eaten tonnes more than what we got but we had so much other stuff to eat as well. The potatoes were not surprisingly my favourite part. They were cooked so well, and had a great flavour with some good spice from the chillis.  The pastry dish was not the best. The spinach was tasty but the pastry itself was a bit weird. It was the only one of the six which wasn't awesome though so I didn't mind.

Overall it was all delicious and I would go back except for the fact there are so many other places to try! The service was great, the food came out pretty quickly and we felt like we could have hung out there all day and they wouldn't have minded. I will give them a 4 out of 5. Yum.
