The Rocket Society

Middle Eastern$

The move of chef Joseph Abboud’s Middle Eastern restaurant Rumi from Lygon Street to a nearby apartment development brought with it a second venue: all-day wine bar Rocket Society. At lunch, get sauced-up Lebanese wraps; later on, share mezze from the charcoal barbecue. Lamb-heart shawarma on house-made bread pairs nicely with something from the natural-leaning wine list or a glass of the anise-flavoured Levantine spirit arak.
