REVIEW BY THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, BEST WEEKEND
JUNE 14, 2014
Having eaten at the finest restaurants from New York to Paris, Avila says it is an unlikely Western Sydney eatery that served up what he described as “probably best meal of my life”.
It followed an exhausting, whirlwind Sydney culinary tour taking in the new French fine diner Hubert in the CBD, Icebergs at Bondi Beach, cocktails at Coogee Pavillion, meat pies at Katoomba Bakery and whole roasted pig at Argentinian grill house Porteno.
But it is a plate of smoked lamb shoulder, served up at Pazar Collective on Canterbury Rd, that earned the highest praise from the man whose taco truck is often compared to a fine-dining restaurant.
“I can honestly say I have never had flavours like that before,” said Avila.
"My standout of the starters is the smoked labne, laced with a dense smokiness that I cannot resist. We dip and dab our way through everything with warm squares of wood oven-baked pide bread encrusted with sesame seeds and nigella.
Zucchini herb balls are another highlight, fooling me first as falafel lookalikes but then quickly revealing themselves as fresh and crunchy zucchini fritters, splashed with cooling yoghurt sprinkled with sumac." HELEN YEE - GRAB YOUR FORK - FOOD BLOG
