The menu features succulent lamb kebabs and delicately fried squash blossoms with a crisp, airy exterior. Techniques such as precise spice-tempering and innovative fermentation ensure a sophisticated balance of flavors. Sami & Susu provides a high-signal journey through the soul of modern Levantine cooking, delivered with the professional grace of a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient.
