AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
The pistachio kebab steals the show, praised as a masterful, smoky bite. Overall, the vibe is warm, rustic, and deeply satisfying.
“This kebab with pistachio is amazing. There's a ton of pistachio — the flavor comes through, it's not just decorative pistachio for crunch. And then a thousand spices I couldn't identify — I think there's a lot of sumac. Good, good, good. Let's make a kind of sandwich. Like this. Delicious.”

Kebab con Melanzane e Carne Trita
This one is basically lamb meatballs alternated with wonderful chunks of eggplant. It's delicious because the smokiness of the eggplant mixes with the smokiness of the meat, the meatball has a nice precise char. There's also that creamy note that stays in your mouth from the eggplant. A thing to fall face-first into. If you want to eat it the traditional way, you do this: a piece of pita, put the eggplant without the skin on top, some meat, some onion, tomato, and these peppers that luckily are just peppers, and then make a wrap. Very, very, very good.
