cafe zum zum
We've been trying to eat at Rumi for ages but keep leaving it too late to get a table. We were hoping to go last night for Nick's birthday but didn't phone them until the beginning of this week and once again they were booked out. So we went to Cafe Zum Zum instead, and weren't disappointed as the food was fantastic. The Age Good Food Guide scores it at 13 out of 20 compared to Rumi's 14.5 so Rumi must be pretty outstanding. Between the 5 of us we had 5 entrees and 4 mains which was probably one dish too many - but the food was so delicious there were no leftovers.
First up were the dips - the usual middle eastern ones and all very good.
Next - probably my favourite - was a warm chickpea salad with yoghurt and tahini dressing with squares of toasted Arabic bread through it - very very good.
Next were two lots of pastries. First crispy feta and mint triangles

I think I like Cafe Zum Zum and Rumi roughly equally, so you didn't miss out at all!
I like the fatteh, too, but the highlight of my night at Zum Zum was definitely the feta and mint pastries. *drool*
Don't feel at all disappointed then Cindy - thanks! Will def. make an effort to go to Rumi soon to compare tho' ;)
The dips, everything actually, look wonderful and those pastries! Nummy!
