Lebanan Chef
Located at: 56 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 21st October, 2023 Middle Eastern cuisine is something that we crave every now and then. And authentic Middle Eastern cuisine is something that can be hard to come by in Sri Lanka. So, naturally, Lebanan Chef had our attention from day one. What was even…
Grillo’s
Located at: 78 Rosmead Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 03rd August, 2023 They had me at shawarma. That’s all it took for Grillo’s to make it to the top of my list of restaurants-to-visit in Colombo. My family were residents of Dubai for well over three decades, and we’re on a permanent hunt for…
The Dubai Diaries: Mosaic Lebanese Restaurant
Located at: Vision Towers, Al-Najda Street, Al-Najda, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 30th March, 2022 This restaurant isn’t located in Dubai itself, but in neighbouring Abu Dhabi.

The Dubai Diaries: Al Shami Restaurant
Located at: Al Muraqqabat Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 28 Oct, 2017 This is the place I think of when I’m not in Dubai and crave shawarma. One chicken shawarma and two falafels with some tahini sauce make for quite a happy meal for me. Al Shami is no fancy restaurant, but neat and spacious…
The Dubai Diaries: Wafi Gourmet @ The Dubai Mall
Located at: Financial Centre Road, Downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 24 Oct, 2017 My first encounter with Wafi Gourmet happened several years back while they had a branch at Dubai Festival City (DFC). And I immediately fell for their pita bread and hommos (quite often spelled hummus). Authentic Lebanese food is what they promised…
