November 25, 2012 The Moor's Head to sample to a greater extent than of their menu. This fourth dimension roughly nosotros were joined past times Cindy's aunt Carol, pregnant nosotros could safely society 2 pizzas without having to worry virtually carting leftovers dorsum domicile amongst us.
We started amongst the Saladin (red za'atar, felfeleh (red pepper together with pomegranate), labne, parsley, mint, walnuts, cumin together with roquette, $16.50), every bit recommended to us
by a commenter on our offset review.
This was truly function past times notch - the za'atar makes a fantastic base of operations for a pizza, piece the felfeleh (which nosotros guessed was the orangish sauce) was tangy together with creamy. Throw some crunchy nuts (plus the beautiful base of operations of course), together with you've got a superb pizza - position this at the function past times of your ordering listing on whatsoever hereafter visits.
To accompany it, nosotros ordered the Beiruti (za'atar, fresh tomato, olives, onion, labne together with roquette, $16.50).
This was dominated past times the big fatty dollops of labne, which were messy but enjoyable. The whole affair was a chip similar a fantastic Greek salad on a pizza - I particularly enjoyed my slices stockpiled amongst all of Cindy's discarded olives. We were all a chip tired of the roquette though - particularly because we'd chosen a roquette salad to intermission upwards the pizzas (with shanklish together with dried Iranian raisins, $8).
The bits of this where you lot got some shanklish together with a raisin were great, but they were a chip sparse on the solid soil for my greedy tastes.
Speaking of greedy, nosotros were feeling brave plenty to tackle a post-pizza dessert. Carol together with I wanted coffees but The Moor's Head is strictly a tea-based hot potable eating theatre (which strikes me every bit bonkers, but anyway). Instead, nosotros each grabbed a scoop of their java H2O ice cream ($3.50), which to a greater extent than than made upwards for the lack of a latte.
Cindy grabbed a sweetness dark tea to larn along amongst a giant bowl of Western Farsi fairy floss ($5). I was merely telling her that I institute the fairy floss a petty chip lacking on its own, but she pointed out that I withal managed to consume one-half of it, therefore I gauge it was meliorate than I remember. She surely seemed to savor the bits that I didn't steal.
I think I enjoyed The Moor's Head fifty-fifty to a greater extent than on the minute see - nosotros ordered a chip meliorate (the Saladin inwards detail truly won me over), together with nosotros institute room for dessert. I can't recommend it plenty - the staff are friendly, the meals are pretty affordable together with everything we've eaten has been fantastic.
