The ordered dishes were:

The Al Aseel Fattoush salad: an exquisite combination of ingredients including tomato, cucumber, radish, pomegranate and crispy fried Lebanese bread in a lemon and olive oil dressing. Also the The Al Aseel Tabouli which adds cucumber, lettuce and mint to the traditional recipe.

For dips, the Baba ghanouj was made of roasted eggplant, tahini and garlic had an enjoyable intense smoky flavour. The hommos was dressed with olive oil.

For entries, the deep fried kibbe was a perfectly cooked and well-seasoned crispy croquette made with spicy mincemeat. The cheese Ladies fingers were crispy and extremely delicious, made of deep fried pastry filled with a three-cheese mix and parsley.

A must try dish is the marinated juicy and tender chicken breast lemon garlic. A must try dish is the marinated juicy and tender chicken breast lemon garlic. The lamb meat of the Laham Mishwee skewers was served with salad and garlic dip and was not as tender as expected.
