Elegant and sophisticated with an Arabian theme, Al Nafoorah is one of the UAE’s leading restaurants offering authentic Lebanese cuisine. With its ambient, contemporary décor created by lots of dark wood panels, wall torches and sumptuous, cream booth seats, as well as a moody terrace, complete with tinkling fountain, it’s a great venue for romantic meals and large gatherings alike. As with every good Arabic eatery, warm, enthusiastic service is central to Al Nafoorah’s dining experience. The waiters know their cuisine, and are as keen to explain the intricate processes that produce the perfect lamb kibbe nayeh, one of the menu’s speciality dishes, as though they personally selected and pounded the meat themselves. All the fresh ingredients are imported from Lebanon to ensure a truly authentic experience and first-time visitors are urged to sample the excellent mezze and the home-made pomegranate sauce, which is served with the special mixed grills.
