I haven’t done any restaurant reviews in a while, so I figured I’d throw up one of my favorite Buenos Aires spots: Sarkis! If you’re ever in the mood for Middle-Eastern / Mediterranean fusion food then Sarkis has you covered. I’ve eaten their probably more than any other local restaurant, since it strikes the perfect balance of cheap, close, and filling.
Sarkis has an entire page of starters you can go with, though I’m a particularly big fan of the falafel. They use a really interesting sauce that gives it a slightly sour / sweet taste, definitely haven’t had anything like it at other falafel joints. Be careful with those starters though, because portions here are big, and you shouldn’t miss out on the main courses. Behold, my favorite:
The kebabs are wonderful, this guy here comes with chicken. You’ve got your grilled onions, grilled tomatoes, huge chicken cubes, and enough yogurt sauce to drown a small child. Oh, and what you see here is just a half portion. They don’t mess around!
You can find Sarkis on Thames, only a block off of Avenida Cordoba. If you want to do dinner try to get there around 8pm because the place fills up quick, especially on weekends. And if you need a dining partner let me know, this is one expat that won’t pass up any opportunity for Sarkis! Enjoy!
