Abla's - Lebanese wonder

Abla's has been on my wishlist since the lady herself was featured in Masterchef.  Finally, on the suggestion of my friend, we had dinner.
Drink was a jug of Limonada ($12) which was home made lemonade with rose water which very refreshing. It had the right balance of sweet and sour...I'm salivating thinking about it.
Ordered more than we could eat. We ordered the Hummous bi Tahini, chicken liver and Kibbee Nayeh, a lamb dish.  The lamb was the most adventurous dish I've tried since the life octopus in Korea years ago.
The hummous bi Tahini ($12) was delicious, I could taste the chickpeas with a hint of tahini garlic and lemon juice, unlike the commercially made ones. Tahini is a peanut paste similar to peanut butter.
Chicken liver ($16) was to die for.  Perfectly cooked and the lemon juice squeezed over the livers took them livers to a new dimension.  Tangy and savoury. Yum.
The Kibbee Nayeh, raw lamb blended with burghul ($27) came with olive oil, sliced onions and peppermint leaves. Our most helpful server gave us tips on how to eat the raw lamb; by taking a piece of bread, place some onions and peppermint leaves, top with the mince, fold and enjoy! I can say it's an acquired taste. There's a slight sliminess and graininess texture. The lamb didn't have any distinct odours and most of the flavour came from the onions and peppermint leaves. I actually quite liked the dish after having a few mouthfuls. Bread is unlimited.
We ended our dinner with turkish delight and Lebanese coffee ($4). The turkish delight came in 2 flavours, rose and unknown though we think it could be apricot. They were ok though I am not really an expert on what's good for a turkish delight.
Coffee was awesome! Hints of fruity sweetness, especially good after a bite of the turkish delight. The whole experience made my night.
