Frommer's Review

Overlooking the Yarra River in the up-and-coming waterside precinct of Docklands, and a short trip from the city center, is this excellent Middle Eastern restaurant. You could go for a main course, such as a lamb or chicken tagine, but the best way to eat is to order several of the meze plates -- little dishes of delicacies. Expect the likes of pastry filled with Middle Eastern cheeses, silverbeet rolls filled with chickpeas, rice, and herbs, or spicy lamb and pine nut boureks (meat-filled pastries) -- whatever you choose, you'll be really impressed. There's also an interesting range of Turkish pizzas, too. The wine list is really good and not too expensive. Highly recommended. You could cruise up the river to get here with Melbourne River Cruises.
