This restaurant (#02-04/05 Wheelock Place, 501 Orchard Road, tel : +65 6262 6400) was formerly known as Pistachio Grill and was formerly located at Zhongshan Mall. I'm glad they moved out to a more centralized location because it is difficult these days to find a reason to get to Balestier.
I haven't had mohamara/muhamara much. Last I remembered them was from Shabestan. This rendition from Pistachio was more tangy and refreshing and also had a smoother texture. Made short work it with pita.
Pistachio's kibbeh were pretty meaty on the inside. Lots of moist ground beef in that crisp bulgar wheat shell. Nice.
Lamb chops with moussaka was pretty good. The meat from the rib was of medium doneness and dripping with juices. Love the chunky yet tender slices of eggplant in the moussaka with the chewy toasted cheese. Possibly the most delicious one I've had yet.
How the menu described their prawn singary didn't paint an accurate picture of how the actual dish was. Something about them with chilli garlic sauce and salad. Nothing mentioned about the prawn-ception of little prawns within tiger prawns. For some reasons, not much of the grill aroma came through. There were also some tender crunchy stuff with the small shrimps that reminded me of the stewed turnip in poh piah.
We ordered their konafeh because we thought it might have been kunefe. Which it probably was. It was served with salted caramel ice cream instead just heavy cream. Definitely prefer the rendition with cream over this one. Not a fan of how the texture of the filo pastry was and for a dessert, it was surprisingly lacking in sweetness.
