🍽️ Suhoor is a meal that often fares best when it sticks to its warm familiarity, rarely needing too much reinvention. However, the new Buoy by Kiki’s and Tabali suhoor collaboration might have cracked the code for an unmissable switch-up. The beloved ful and taameya spot brought over its staples to the fresh Mediterranean delicacies of Buoy by Kiki’s for a suhoor menu that is well worth your time and taste buds.

We already knew we were in for an atmospheric dining experience, given Buoy’s reputation for a well-curated setting, but we were thoroughly impressed by its Ramadan revamp — colorful string lights hanging overhead, cozy indoor lighting, and a live oud player. We would’ve been satisfied with just the great atmosphere, but we had stomachs to fill, and a new menu to mull over. To our surprise — and relief — the menu didn’t lean too much on the familiar classics we’ve grown weary of, it welcomed us with fresh selections that were all too tempting.

First up on the roster: Ful, which, in addition to the usual favorites, was offered in an appetizing eggplant and pomegranate molasses combination — our immediate first pick. Taameya sliders? Count us in. We went for the Tabali taameya sliders paired with guacamole. The egg selections were overwhelmingly varied, so we splurged a little and went for the truffle scrambled eggs and the breakfast tacos. Our spread didn’t end there, we also opted for a labneh with zaatar mano’uche, truffle fries, and a side of hummus.

The ful was a definite standout — the mix of pomegranate molasses gave the savory classic a refreshing twist with its sweet tang. The taameya sliders and smoky-relish breakfast tacos brought a welcome modern twist to the classic spread. We also happily munched on the perfectly baked mano’uche and crispy truffle fries. Despite the full spread, we found the meal to be light, and even had room for their milk and sugar feteer (the only available dessert that night).

In spite of the diverse ingredients, some of the dishes did unfortunately suffer from weak flavors — however the innovative fusions charmed us enough to brush it off. All in all, this suhoor experience felt much-needed, and we can confidently say that Buoy and Tabali knocked it out of the park with this collaboration.
