Authentic Lebanese Mezze and Starters
Discover the true taste of the Mediterranean with our hand-crafted mezze, freshly baked pita, and traditional dips, prepared exactly as we serve them back home.
Watch the artful preparation of our classic hummus. We start with a smooth tahini base and carefully layer fresh chickpeas, tomatoes, radishes, and a generous pour of extra virgin olive oil.
Our authentic hummus, beautifully presented with whole chickpeas, pine nuts, and a drizzle of olive oil. It’s a classic starter that embodies the simple, pure flavors of Lebanese cuisine.
From scratch to plate, this is how I prepare our famous falafel. Each piece is hand-formed, coated in sesame seeds, and fried to a perfect golden brown for a crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful inside.
The perfect bite: a crispy, freshly made falafel being dipped into our creamy, house-made tahini sauce. This is a classic combination that never disappoints.
Kibbeh Sajieh, a traditional Lebanese delicacy. These savory pastries are filled with seasoned minced meat and nuts, then fried to create a wonderfully textured and flavorful starter.
Rakakat Jibneh, also known as cheese rolls. These crispy, golden-fried spring rolls are filled with a delicious blend of cheeses and herbs, making for an irresistible hot mezze.
Sambousek Lahme are savory pastries filled with spiced minced lamb. Each one is a small parcel of flavor, perfect for starting your meal.
We present to you our Muhammara, a rich and smoky dip made from roasted red peppers and walnuts. It’s a staple of Lebanese cuisine, offering a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy notes.
Our Labneh with Garlic and Mint is a refreshing and creamy yogurt dip. The coolness of the mint and the subtle bite of garlic make it a perfect accompaniment to our fresh pita bread.
A bowl of our Greek Salad, made with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and olives, topped with a generous block of feta cheese and a light vinaigrette.
About Lebanese Mezze & Starters
When ordering our mezze, remember that the temperature and texture make all the difference. Our hummus is served at room temperature to let the quality of the olive oil and chickpeas shine, and our pita bread is pulled fresh from the oven the moment you order. If you want the ideal start, pair the cool, garlic-infused Labneh with a warm, crispy falafel; the contrast between the two is exactly how we enjoy it in our kitchen.
Our approach to Lebanese mezze is rooted in simplicity and freshness. We believe that when you start with high-quality ingredients, you do not need to hide the flavors. Take our Kibbeh Sajieh, for example—a traditional pastry filled with spiced minced meat and nuts that relies on the balance of the crust and the savory filling rather than heavy sauces.
We offer a full range of small plates perfect for sharing. You will find staples like our Muhammara, which we make using roasted red peppers and walnuts to hit that perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and tangy notes. For those who prefer lighter options, our soup selection includes traditional Harira, a Moroccan comfort classic made with lentils and chickpeas, or the Greek-inspired Avgolemono, a silky chicken and rice soup brightened with a touch of lemon.
Whether you are dining at our Koramangala or Vasanth Nagar location, our goal is to bring you the authentic Mediterranean table. These dishes are meant to be lingered over, accompanied by warm pita and perhaps a glass of wine or a strong Turkish coffee. We handle all the prep work, from frying the Rakakat Jibneh cheese rolls to blending the hummus, so you can focus on the meal and the company.
