Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the spices and Lebanese-inspired taste, though some found it a bit bland and wished for more depth.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with clear instructions; a few found the timing and temperature changes tricky.
- Suggestions: Consider adding more vegetables like tomatoes or cucumber to the salad; some preferred less chickpeas or a saucier consistency.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers worked well on jacket potatoes or as lunch the following day.
- Texture: Some found the dish a bit dry; consider adding more yoghurt or serving the naan on the side.
