Maroush Lebanese Restaurant

After a long busy week, I headed out to Maroush Restaurant.

Here's how it turned out...

Olives were already laid out on the table.

I brought along one of my mini bow bags. This was stashed away for years so I thought I'd let it see some day light (not practically, as it was already evening ... )!

I got it from Dune.

A portion of houmous as usual... simply delicious and earthy.

A sneak peek of the Battata Harra. Soft and slightly spicy. Goes well with everything.

Khubus Bread

And of course, Tabouleh Salad ... which is my favourite salad!

Mixing it up with garlic & chilli sauces.

And some baklawa for the compliments................!

Each of the dishes pictured was delicious! The prices were reasonable. I would definitely visit again. One thing I didn't quite like was the service (not that I'm complaining, it wasn't that bad), which I thought could have been better. There were a few delays in between meals and bringing the bill. There was no music - that could be a good thing for some of you though.

Would I recommend Maroush? Yes.

Foods and Scents

Last weekend, I went to a Lebanese restaurant in Edgware Road - Soraya.
Here's what I ordered.


Chicken Showerma - Delicious. The bread was crispy. The sauces were well balanced. Just enough salad. However the chicken spoilt it! I spotted a few 'red' looking meat in the showerma. For those of you who don't mind this, this will be a treat! If you're like me and fussy with your meat being well done...you won't enjoy it as much as you'll have to keep picking at your showerma...


Khubus Bread - warm, soft & satisfying. One of my favourite breads.


Tabouleh - my favourite salad!


Batata Harra (Hot/Spicy Potatoes) - This had a good level of spice in it. Yummy... a must order.


On another subject, I got a sample of this perfume - Nina by Nina Ricci.
So she named it after her cleverly enough... I say that because this perfume is incredible. I love the way it smells of apple and candy rather than just apples. I would consider this as a great casual or formal perfume. I imagine it can do some of us some cheering up whenever we need it... It'll surprise you.



This is a perfume I have based on the scent of pure red apples - Red Delicious by DKNY.


I use this now and again. However, I don't think it has that uplifting scent to it... like Nina has. Nina has more of a catch - a good catch! And it is more captivating. However, if you like simpler scents... DKNY will be a good choice.

So Nina wins for me.
