This Place Left Me Wanting "SABUR"

My first revue is of a wonderful Exotic Mediteranean resturant called Sabur. Sabur is located in between Teele Sq. and Davis Sq. in Somerville, Ma. I have been driving past this resturant for months, just dying to go inside... You walk into this place and it smells delicious!!! The atmosphere is very exotic, almost mysterious. Thay have the resturant side which was nice.. but then they have the lounge side which was so inviting.. so you know that's where we sat. They had couches with pillows, warm colors and a live band. The food is Bosnian, not sure exactly where Bosnia was, I got on the internet and Googled Bosnian food. Excited to try something diffrent and being the Greedy Gurlz that we are, we went off when we got the menu. To start off we order our drinks and apps..two of course..My drink was called the Persephone, a pomergranate infused Horinitos, with lime juice and Citronage.. how good was that... Liz had the Saburska, the most tastey refreshing peach drink I ever tried... But the appetizers..OMG...we ordered the zucchini and feta fritters with ajvar, which is a tasty tomato type sauce for dipping, the flavors were just so good.. Then we got a an eggplant and roasted red pepper dip with goat cheese... this dip was so good I could not stop eating it!! DELICIOUS!! And of course we got entrees too!! I ordered the Lamb Stew, it was so good, the Au Jus had the best flavor, the lamb was tender, I cleaned my plate, wanted to lick the plate dry it was so good. Liz got the Grilled Chicken with Wild Mushroom and Spinach. The spinich was so fresh it was pretty.. the creamy sauce was just the perfect touch to an absolutely delightful meal. This food was great compfort food.. the iitis started to kick in and it took everything in our power not to lay across the couches and go to sleep!!! But of course it didn't end there... we got the dessert menu and OMG.. all I could do is SMH! The options seemed endless and not being familiar with Bosnian Cuisine, we had the waiter recommend a dessert and booooy can I just tell you...SMH.. all I can say is Glazed Apricot, stuffed with Marscapone cheese, topped with Toasted Almonds!! NOT NORMAL was all we could get out our mouths as we devoured this amazing treat.. After all that wonderfulness I was left wanting "SABUR"!
