Quotes

"For the fattoush, chef mixed up olive oil, pomegranate molasses, and then the salad mixture with all the different vegetables. And it's not fattoush without the crispy fried bread. Mm. Sweet, sour, crunchy, refreshing. So it really is like an explosion of flavors, but that texture and the coldness of that is just so refreshing."

"The lemon with the texture of the bulgur, the freshness of the parsley and the onions and the tomatoes. So refreshing, so tangy. Both the salads are excellent."

"The kibbehneya is sensational. It's straight up meat jam. The buttery texture of it with the bulgur absorbing the moisture. It's so smooth. Sensational, just that texture. Smooth, buttery. It is really like meat butter."

"Immediately, you get the texture of the chicken, you get the smokiness of the chicken, but you get that undeniable garlicky, lemony, yogurt-y sauce. Oh, it's so good, yeah. Beautifully creamy, yet zesty. Every bite is just so much flavor, and the best part about having so much sauce is that you can just mop it up with the bread afterwards."

"That's one of those sauces that's so good. They could submerge anything in that sauce, and it would be good."

"The flavor of the lamb, really hearty. Tender. Humbling. Chef also drizzled some of the lamb juice onto it, magnifying the flavor. Then you've got the crunch of those nuts and the cooling yogurt."

"The reviewer visits BISTECCA in Sydney to experience its famed Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a 1.1 kg masterpiece cooked to perfection. The anticipation builds as the reviewer explores the restaurant’s unique underground ambiance and prepares for a feast of bone marrow, salads, and expertly prepared steak. The visit is a celebration of both Italian tradition and Australian beef, promising a memorable culinary adventure."

"Sam is a man who knows his sandwiches. Again, immediately the vibrancy and the brightness of that pesto. That basil in there. The rocca. And then you've got that creamy mozzarella. You've got the softness of that pork. Wow. And then you finish it off with the fennel salami."
