We received some generous gift cards a few years ago that are valid at any Glowbal Group restaurant. So we decided to have dinner at Sanafir on Granville Street before a concert. Here’s what the 20-something me would have thought of Sanafir: Wow, what a cutting edge menu with Middle Eastern, Indian AND Mediterranean flavours. It’s a [...]
