Urban Bite's Sample Platter is a good introduction to what Lebanese cuisine has to offer. Everything is made in-house to owner Christine Khanashat’s father’s original, time-honoured recipes. Scoop up scrumptiously smooth hummus or creamy labneh with the pillowy, freshly baked bread, then move on to the more substantial falafels and meaty lamb kibbehs – deep-fried croquettes made from spiced lamb stuffed into a lamb and bulgur wheat shell.

For something refreshing, try the tabbouleh salad, made of tomatoes, chopped parsley, mint, bulgur, onion and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice and salt.

Lastly, there’s warak enab, rice stuffed vine leaves that are served cold. To be honest, I was never a fan of the leaf’s slightly leathery texture.
