While the much-lauded za’atar bread was regrettably no longer on the menu, there were still plenty of inventive dishes to explore. Instead of opting for the larger plates, we decided to sample as many mezze starters as possible. Some items, like the dips platter and grilled squid, were underwhelming, but others stood out with unique elements that I really appreciated. The Moon mussels, cooked in coconut milk, had a perfectly creamy flavor that paired wonderfully with the small pieces of merguez sausage. The apricot sauce on the chicken bastilla was exceptional, and the feta fritters drizzled with honey were executed to perfection. My favorite dish was the eggplant fatteh, which had a delightful combination of yogurt, pita crisps, eggplant, and various spices. To conclude our meal, we indulged in halawa cheesecake, which was a delightful finish. The sprinkles of pistachio and grape molasses offered a unique touch that complemented the chocolate cheesecake beautifully.

The restaurant offers a diverse selection of dishes, and we chose several smaller plates to share family-style. Although it would have been nicer to have the dishes brought out gradually instead of all at once, every dish was delightful. We highly recommend the "dips" platter, featuring hummus, baba ghanoush, pickled beets, olives, and more; it was definitely one of our favorites. The grape leaves were also superb. Overall, dining at Moona was a fantastic experience.
