All our meat is halal, and there are plenty of vegan and vegetarian dishes.
We marinate the lamb hours ahead and cook it over live charcoal until the outside browns and the middle stays pink and juicy. The smoke does the rest, and you taste it most in the Lamb Chops.
The chicken sits in lemon, garlic and spices, then goes over a hot charcoal fire that seals it fast. It comes off juicy inside and toasted outside, the way a good Shish should be.
Whole sea bass and king prawns get a short time on the grill over a strong fire. The flesh stays tender, the outside picks up a touch of smoke, and they need little more than lemon.
Aubergine, peppers, courgette and halloumi go straight onto the charcoal until they char at the edges and turn sweet. What does not go on the grill is stewed slowly with tomato, like our Okra Stew.
Three courses to share, chosen for you: a spread of mezze, a mixed grill straight from the charcoal and baklawa to finish. For two or for four, and there is a vegetarian one too.
