The engaging atmosphere and prompt service will ensure a great time for you with the scrumptious taste of authentic Lebanese cuisine at ‘Al Nafoorah’, which means a fountain in Arabic. The Al Nafoorah located in Jumeirah Zabeel Saray resort is touted to be the finest Lebanese restaurant in Dubai and you can make the most of your time at this place with a delectable menu and enchanting live music entertainment.
Ottoman-inspired Jumeirah Zabeel Saray’s a truly authentic taste of Lebanese dining is as much about generous, traditional service as it is the delicious cuisine. The high ceilings and dark wood carvings create a distinctly regal feel as you enter, yet the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. As we enter the restaurant the staff approached us with genuine smile and warm welcome. Al Nafoorah has long enjoyed a reputation for serving the finest Lebanese food in Dubai, along with generous helpings of Lebanese hospitality. Hot and cold mezze dishes are Al Nafoorah’s specialities and the outdoor shisha terrace creates a beautiful al fresco setting for any occasion. Whether you’re indoors, accompanied by gentle Arabic music, or on the terrace, overlooking the world-famous Palm Jumeirah, you’ll find our serving staff exceptionally friendly and attentive.
Fresh hot arabic bread is forthcoming even before you finish your basket. You can expect the usual mix of classic dishes from hot and cold mezze to charcoal-grilled mains, only it will taste just that little bit better than in most restaurants of its ilk. The moutabel (a hearty dip of grilled eggplant with tahina sauce) is just that little bit smokier. The shish taouk (a grilled chicken kebab) is just a little bit more tender. But in Al Nafoorah the fresh cucumber, tomato, lettuce, mint and parsley had a pleasantly sharp bite thanks to the green chilli and lemon dressing. The sautéed chicken liver was the best I’ve tasted, the meat at once crumbly and silken, the consistency of the pomegranate sauce sweet with none of the cloying aftertaste.
Experience a true taste of the Levant in this atmospheric, high ceilinged restaurant. Fire grilled meats, tantalising mezze dishes and generous salads make up the traditional Lebanese menu. Gests can choose from cold and hot mezzeh some of which include Tabbouleh, Hummus, Watermelon Halloumi Cheese, Falafel, Potato Harrah, from the Charcoal Grill and Seafood. The Lebanese experience in incomplete without Halawa Bel Jeben, Mamoul Cheese and Osmanlieh. Suitable for any occasion, Al Nafoorah restaurant offers an extensive menu featuring generously portioned traditional Lebanese dishes including mezzeh, shawarmas, mixed meat grills and more.
