"Carrots braised just so, served on mung beans with smoked labneh and crispy toasts. The smoked labneh (a Middle Eastern yogurt cheese) really made this dish. Probably my favourite of the night."

"Nopi is a great place to chow down some of the best Shakshuka the capital has to offer."

"The Shakshuka was everything I had dreamt it would be, served in a copper frying pan and filled to the brim with a rich piquante tomato sauce, numerous dollops of smoked labneh, several braised Italian eggs and a side of sourdough doused in oil."

"I had no idea what labneh was, but gave it a try…Delicious. It was absolutely delicious. Labneh turned out to be strained yoghurt, and really complimented the spicy tomato sauce. Yummie. I’d really recommend."
