Ingredient appreciation — what makes Hummus special

What sets Hummus apart is the handling of tahini. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the sesame-rich and nutty result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Shabbat and holiday meals follow religious traditions that shape the food served. The a fusion restaurant mixing Mediterranean traditions atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had mint lemonade as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Hummus is the place to start.
