It could be a great meal if the lamb is less chewy. But still worth a trip. Great service by Jeff. Thank you and Keep it up.
The Place
Artichoke may be a Middle Eastern restaurant, but you won't find any carpets and Arabian-esque decor here. They steer away from the traditional, and one look at the decor says it all. Expect unpretentious, unassuming and unapologetic food with a zing of Middle Eastern spice here. This restaurant is inspired by Chef-Owner Bjorn Shen's favourite movie, You Don't Mess with the Zohan. He produces fun and creative dishes as he draws inspiration from Middle-Eastern flavours while giving them a unique twist.
Insider Tips
Have a go at the Thicc Hashbrown, served with a dollop of sour cream, chives and za'atar. For mains, the Grilled Pork Jowl or the ever-so-tender 12-HR Lamb Steak are excellent choices. Try the Burrata & Basturma — featuring burrata, minted peas, duck basturma — an absolute delight.

18 Apr 2023Food was excellent! Great flavours, hummus was on point, lamb was crispy, dishes came with lots of onion 👍 Spent $38 per person here, 6 person dinner, table was a bit squeezy but it worked out, there is a mix of alfresco and indoor seating available

10 Mar 2023Amazing food, funky crowd, good vibes! Indoor room is cool and cosy akin to dining in someone’s home. Will definitely return. Got the Jewelled Hummus with Bread - highly recommended; Fried Cauliflower, Eggplant with Cheese skewers; Date dessert - was expecting a sticky date pudding but this version was great too

27 Feb 2023This place is pretty well known, being featured on netflix, and my group of friends happen to hear about it separately. The dishes were good and not exceptional enough for me to want to come back. My favourite was the chicken with sour cream mixture, as they paired well together and makes a good recipe. I found the halibut dish too oily. The hummus dips were delightful. I would give 4.5 stars if I could.

18 Jun 2023One of the top brunch spots in the city (for those not looking to have eggs and avo toast). Every dish was amazing. Highly recommend ordering the bread and the hummus as a starter. The mains were great as well, we had the scallop rice, lamb kebab and fried chicken and would order them again. The place also offers generous seating time ~2 hr hence a good spot if you want to chill and have a long catch up session with friends.
