So last Friday was date night for me and the mans, and him being
such a great bf he brought me flowers (prob helps that's I've been harping
about it) but anywhoooo he wanted to be surprised with where we would eat at.
So after trolling Living Social I came across an offer for the Horus Cafe
on ave A. The deal included two glasses of wine, two appetizers, two
entrees and two deserts. I picked it because they have belly dancing
shows on Fridays (which we missed).
So after picking me up from work we headed on down to Ave A in
the LES and promptly got seated.
Its your typical middle eastern décor, beige walls, Moroccan style
lamps, and these awesome copper top tables. The café as has hookah service as well, being
a former smoker I passed. So we got
hummus (extra), Moroccan cigars and a Greek salad to share. Nom, nom, nom is all I can say. There was enough in appetizers we were kinda
full by the time the food rolled around.
For entrees the bf got lamp chops with a potato gratin and I got chicken
royal. His chops were delish! The potato’s were so creamy and tasty and complimented
well with grilled veggies. My chicken
was moist and flavorful and served in what was an Alfredo sauce and a side of sautéed
spinach with CHUNKS of garlic. I mean
who DOESN’T love garlic? For desert we got baklava, which was eh. My bf was burnt and mines was kinda cooked,
plus it was served with whipped cream and drizzled in chocolate (strange
bedfellows). We did get coffee to wash
it all down and MAN was it strong (which was nice and have the BF buzzing).
Overall great laid back ambiance with a noise level that makes
it way to talk to your party without screaming. Most everything was good so I’d say like 3.5
out of 5 forks. So if your looking for
something off the beaten path and a little different give it a try.
