There are few things which make me happier in life than good food and a lovely setting to go with it (apart from maybe when Ryan Gosling pulls this face). I love Middle Eastern style food and when I was told about Maray on Bold Street which specialises in falafel, small plates and cocktails, I knew it was going to be right up my street. So, on an uncharacteristically sunny British summer's day, we went in search of hummus and good times.
Maray is pretty small inside meaning that it's extremely welcoming and cosy, but at the same time it still has a really slick and current look to it. Everything about this place is aesthetically pleasing from the huge, glass-topped wooden table to the mismatched crockery, to the fresh flowers adding a natural pop of colour. It looks like something I'd see on Pinterest and instantly add to my hypothetical cafe interior board, which I'm sorry to admit is a genuine pastime of mine...don't judge.
When it came to making a decision about food (my least favourite task in life), we settled on a sharing platter and a side of crispy chilli kale. Kale is one of those things that is crazily popular at the moment, so I reserved judgement as to whether having it on the menu was more of a fashion statement than a taste sensation until after I'd tried it, but I'm very happy to say it definitely delivered on flavour. The sharing dish was made up of their signature falafel, some dips, salad, pickles, olives and tabouleh, as well as some of those super thin flatbreads which I love. These kinds of dishes where you get to try a lot of different things are my absolute favourite (I'm a greedy pig, ok?) and we left Maray with full tummies and falafel-induced grins on our faces. Next stop...the evening menu (and the falafel and gin disco!)
You'll find Maray at 91 Bold St, Liverpool.
