Lara Kitchen
A halal Mediterranean kitchen and coffee shop in Seton, far south Calgary - home-style cooking rather than counter food, which is unusual for this stretch of the city and is what the reviews are about. What to order The steak sub and the mutabbal with bread are the two dishes named most, with shawarma, pita and hummus and a fattoush making up the standard table. Sweets are made in house. Vegetarian grape leaf wraps have been handed over as a complimentary extra more than once. Good to know It is also a coffee shop, so it works for sitting rather than only eating. The owner will serve you close to closing rather than turning you away - reviewers describe exactly that, at quarter to nine for a nine o'clock close. Portions are generous and the pricing is called out as fair. Dine in, take out or kerbside pickup, with free parking. Rated 4.9 from more than 90 Google reviews - one of the highest scores in the deep southeast.
