Aula and Sam Saado bring authentic Mediterranean flavours to 269 with dishes inspired by Aula’s Mother’s kitchen. Expect freshly made pita bread, spiced falafel, creamy hummus, tangy pickles, smoky baba ghanoush and so much more. “I learned to cook from my mum when I was really young,” Aula says. “She makes everything from scratch – no shortcuts.” Aula and her husband Sam use top-quality ingredients, even sourcing sumac dried from her mum’s garden back home to create vibrant dips, zesty salads, and mezze dishes.
