If authenticity and home cooking appeal then this neat diner will suit but carb-phobes should steer clear. Grilled skewered meats, luscious tangy stews and crunchy salads all come with flatbread, fluffy long grain rice or both. Just look at the lamb shanks and the meat falls from the bone into the salty broth. The accompanying dill-flecked rice is a hit, studded with bright broad beans. Fried eggplant with mint and whey dressing is delectably oily, begging to be smeared on everything and the smoky Darband special keeps chicken, lamb backstrap and mince lovers happy in a single plate.
