The first restaurant and our first dinner out with friend after she got back from overseas took us to Abla's. With 5 of us heading out, we decide to sample as many of the dishes as possible.
Starting with Mix Dips; Soft warm flat bread served with a lightly eggplant baba ghannooj, Delicious hummous and a cool yoghurt.
Following was a series of starters, including Makaneek, ladies fingers and silverbeet rolls. The Makaneek was spicy and soft and well cooked. The ladies finger filled with lamb, pine nuts and spices surronded by crisp pastry were good as well.
However the only dissapointment of the meal were the silverbeet rolls. Only lukewarm with poor texture and minimal flavour and wet rice was a very large disappointment and the worst dish of the evening.
The main courses were the star of the evening with the Chicken and Rice being the best dish of the night. Rice Pilaf mixed with minced lamb, chicken and rice and perfectly spiced i would fully recommend this dish to anyone who visits Abla's.
For desert some simple but exquisite Turkish Delight, Halwa and my personal favourit Baklawa. Packed with nuts and covered with a sweet syrup. A great way to finish a good but not great dinner. Solid homey foods cooked well but nothing ground breaking. Worthy of a 1 Hat but definately not any more.
