I used to be at Melrose Market this month writing in regards to the controversy surrounding the window coverings put up by incoming tenant Eggslut, so naturally I finished in at Cafe Suliman, the perpetually charming counter run by Ahmed Suliman. The small plates format right here means which you could have something from a snack to a multi-course meal, and I opted for one thing snacky: halloumi with seasonal greens. The cheese was snappy on the surface and chewy on the within however what actually stood out was the mixture of dukkah and a quince dressing, which made the dish a bit of candy but additionally deeply savory.
