Hot Small Plates
Maghreb Nachos
If nachos were a “thing” in the maghreb then i’m sure they’d resemble these! Chermoula salsa, creamy feta sauce, feta, pine nuts, red onions, cilantro & tomatoes.		 $9.00
Manakish
“Manakish” comes from the arabic verb “to sculpt, carve out” meaning that after the dough has been rolled flat,. It is pressed by the fingertips to create little dips for the topping to lie in. Our version has an eggplant tomato sauce, za’atar, feta, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes & a salad of spring greens in a red pepper mint dressing.		 $12.00
Shakshuka
A robust dish of eggs baked in a mildly spicy tomato, cumin & red pepper sauce & sprinkled with fresh cilantro & feta cheese. Served with a side of labneh & warm greek pita. (This is actually quite a large “small plate”!)		 $15.00
Keftadakia
Delicate little greek lamb & beef meatballs in a sexy tomato sauce with a little feta on top. There are too many ingredients to list but take it from us, they’re delicious!		 $11.00
Nava’s Kurdish Vegetables & Mujadarra
Stuffed vegetables are rather labor intensive & my wonderful kurdish neighbor nava taught me this cheat’s version. Butternut squash, zucchini, cauliflower & bok choy in a tangy tomato sauce served on “mujadarra” – a cinnamon & lentil rice.		 $10.00
Beef Tagine
Very similar to an iranian “koresht”. Succulent choice pieces of beef baked for hours with apricots, cinnamon, cumin, allspice, smoked paprika, garlic, fire-roasted tomatoes, onions, cilantro, parsley & pomegranate molasses. Served with a cucumber, chive & tzatziki salad on top.		 $11.00
Ya Ya’s Chili
Not yo mama’s chili! Beef & lamb with the addition of some “off the beaten track” spices with a side of feta cheese & labneh. Voted “best overall chili people’s choice” at the rock n’ folk chili cook off!		 $10.00
Moroccan Lemon Chicken
Juicy, succulent chicken with creamy harissa labneh served over mint & red pepper dressed greens.		 $14.00
Batatas Bravas
There isn’t actually a “p” in arabic so borrowed words like “pringles” become “bringles”. So this is the classic spanish dish of garlic roasted little “batatoes” with a warm, spicy, roasted red pepper & tomato sauce, fresh parsley & a side of “chived” sour cream.		 $9.00
Shawarma Chicken Breast
Shawarma spiced chicken breast on lemony “ptitim” (israeli couscous) salad with cucumbers, corn & sumac. Served with a tamarind-tomato sauce.		 $12.00
Omani Shrimp
Spicy garlic-lemon shrimp in our tomato-coconut omani sauce sprinkled with chopped cilantro. Definitely a staff favorite especially if paired with a side of buttered rice or warm greek pita.		 $16.00
M’chicha Wa Naazi
Zanzibar was sadly the center for the arab slave trade but it’s also famous for it’s spices & was a key stop on the spice route. This little island has had a huge part to play in middle eastern food being so fragrant & delicious. This dish is exactly that – it’s a bold, tomato & coconut creamed spinach topped with spicy tomato orzo pasta & crunchy, spicy chickpea noodles.		 $10.00
Dhofar Lamb
This lamb has a spectacular sauce consisting of cinnamon, allspice, cumin, coriander, garlic, figs, dates, roasted poblanos, tomatoes, fresh mint & a touch of coconut milk which really makes this dish extra special. Dhofar is the main coconut producing region in oman.		 $15.00

Side Of Sweet Potato Fries $4.00
“Caesar” Salad $6.00
Pilpel Salad $6.00

Tabouli
This bulgar, parsley, lemon, cucumber & tomato salad is served in turkey, ammenia & cyprus, but the lebanese fiercely defend their claim to inventing this now worldwide favorite. Ours is more like turkish kisir. We don’t use as much parsley as many of the middle eastern countries countries do so don’t worry, you won’t have green bits stuck in your teeth later!

Yemenite Malawach
Kind of like a puffed up pancake consisting of puff pastry-like thin layers brushed with olive oil & fried on the griddle. It is served taco style with a spicy’ish tomato & red pepper sauce, hard boiled egg, a chopped salad, labneh & a fruit salad.		 $11.00
Chicken & Lamb “Shawarma” & Sweet Potato Fries
Spinach wrap with our marinated, braised chicken & lamb “shawarma”. Shawarma refers to the shawarma spices, not the way it is prepared. So we’re sorry that it’s not the kind that turns on a spit for days and days, but that is a little scary to many of us!

Street falafel or shawarma served with a cup of either our esau, carrot & tomato or the soup of the day. (Try dipping, it’s really good)!		 $13.00

First time. Got there right at opening. Love the atmosphere with the big windows and smart look. My mom is a vegan and she was delighted that there were many vegan options. I am not a vegan and loved it too. Falafel wrap was very tasty with sweet potato fries and a mint lemonade drink that was delightfully tart. We had an appetizer of hummus that contained roasted tomatoes (not dried flakes but actual tomatoes) and it come with whole wheat pita bread. The entire meal was wonderful and we cleaned our plates to the last bite. Next time I visit my mother we will definitely be back

Another fantastic experience at Laffa. I took a friend here for his birthday on a Saturday evening and were able to get a table within five minutes. Our waitress took great care of us and offered suggestions. We shared the feta fries appetizer and each ordered an entree and cocktail. I will keep coming back to Laffa again and again for their hospitality and cuisine.

I’ve never had middle eastern food before and this place set the bar pretty high. It’s very expensive and you will probably need a reservation to get a table. My friend and I had to sit at the bar. The food was definitely worth the wait.

Large DELICIOUS portions. We had the mini mezze for an appetizer and had the west African hummus, Anatolian labneh dip, and muhamarra…. Amazing with the pita bread. I had the laffa shakshuka and he had the keftadakia with the esau soup.

This place checked off all of the boxes for me. We ordered 3 different types of hummus dishes and they were delicious! I also purchased a cup if carrot, cumin, and tomato soup for my appetizer. I love cooking with these flavors together, so I found it to be absolutely perfect.

Always a great meal at Laffa. Appetizers are great. Usually get a medley of mesa (small plates with hummus, roasted vegetables, etc). Lunch menu is pared down, but service is pretty quick. Good place for a lunch on the clock. Dinner menu is more expansive, with a wide variety of dishes. Great selection for vegetarians. Deserts are unexpectedly delicious. Not sure of name, but desert with whipped cream, caramel and toffee is dynamite.

Wow! We are foodies! And therefore there are always more places to try, BUT we are going to have to come back again. If you know or want to try Mediterranean food Laffa is a great place to remind you or introduce you. Try it!

Food was beautiful and amazing. If you’re confused about anything they love to help and walk you through it. Lots of Vegan and Vegetarian options without having to search, as well as terrific teas. I haven’t made it to a dessert yet! (Always eat too much)…Matthew helped us patiently with our indecisiveness over the combinations. I recommend Sunday night if you like things less crowded.
