Dukka - BRESCIA

Despite having good reviews we felt very let down when we had dinner recently. In simple terms we experienced what I can only call unprofessional behaviour by one member of staff. When looking at the menu we were approached by a waitress who told us that we should go for the meze as it was specifically intended to be a sharing plate for 2......priced at €14. That seemed quite expensive when compared with the other Antipasti dishes but we were persuaded to go with it ......I would go so far as to suggest that we were given the 'hard sell '. Anyway, we subsequently discovered that the meze was actually €14 EACH. Was it 'special ' and worth €14....No! Do I feel that we were deliberately misled by the waitress....Yes. Would I ever go back here again....No.

Lovely restaurant and atmosphere, outside and inside. Top service, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Food is excellent, a great variety of dishes, not too spicy, very good quality. I would highly recommend it!

Absolutely a must. Everything was delicious any plenty! I have been there a few times and I have never been deluded in my expectations. Met the chef, a very young but expert cook who does it with passion and creates incredible dishes. We were very very impressed by him. All of the staff and owner are really wonderful. The aperitivo della casa is a mind blower!!!

Can't imagine that I have not already reviewed this place...maybe under an old TripAdvisor ID? Anyhow, I've eaten here more often than anywhere else in Brescia centre in recent years, usually lunch but sometimes dinner almost always with friends. Great range of vegetarian/vegan options, all very tasty. My most recent visit was with a friend of Algerian origin, and she was very satisfied with the food. The owner, Iyas, is usually on site and is an ever genial host in Italian, English or Arabic. His commitment to his customers and his business is very obvious. Favourite dishes Hummus e Shatta (I tried to make Shatta at home...easier to go to Dukka! , Falafel e Tahina, Sigari di Feta e Menta, Hallumi Fritto con Dukka (I adore halloumi... . The new winter menu includes what I think is a new dish Pita Palestinese Fritta con Dukka that I look forward to trying. On the downside, I was saddened that the winter menu does not include the sheep's ricotta with kataifi pastry one of the best desserts I have eaten... I hope it returns in the spring!
