Tawlet is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. It was a real treat when the young Australian-Lebanese activist Oday Kamal took my Egyptian friend and I to this great gastronomic treasure. The entire concept of the restaurant, "homemade" and "organic," is fantastic. It's some of the best food I have ever had in my life.
