Best Kafta bi Tahini in Toronto
“Spiced kafta baked under a tahini blanket that goes golden at the edges. The oven does the poetry.”
What the real thing tastes like
Kafta — minced lamb kneaded with parsley, onion, and warm spice — is laid over potato slices and submerged in lemony tahini sauce, then baked until the tahini sets into a golden, cracked crust at the edges while staying molten in the centre. The potatoes underneath, soaked in meat juice and sesame, are the buried treasure of the dish.

The edge-crust versus molten-centre tahini geography is mapped lovingly in reviews, and the bottom-layer potatoes are repeatedly declared the best bite. It reads as the dish Lebanese reviewers cite when explaining that their cuisine is more than mezze.
