Editorial Review

Seedy looking outside, campy inside (safari-themed walls), Bilan’s charms blossom with a complimentary jug of green mango nectar. Next come steaming bowls of deep yellow vegetable broth, full of aromatic flavour. Regulars opt for proteins atop a giant platter of saffron rice. Stewed hunks of goat fall eagerly off the bone, tender with a touch of hot sauce, while chicken arrives tangy in candied sauce. All main dishes $8. Unlicensed.
