The Menu of Nish Nush SA

The menu may be simple, but every offering is packed with full-on flavors of the Middle East.

The falafels have already spawned a cult-like following, and these small crunchy balls of perfection come hot, golden, and can be enjoyed in a pita or on a plate with all the trimmings. Another special mention should go to the luxuriously creamy hummus. Order your falafels on a bed of this stuff, and thank us later. They even have 250g take-home tubs of hummus available for dipping, slathering, or just enjoying with a spoon.
