GRAND BEIRUT BUSINESS LUNCH
The Galleria Al Maryah
It's lunchtime in The Galleria, you're more than a bit peckish and you need to be finished in 45 minutes. Enter: the Grand Beirut business lunch - a stone cold winner in its class!
Cold Mezzeh
We started with bread and a luscious dip then chose our mezzeh: a gorgeous, fresh tabbouleh or a creamy hummous with a piquant lemon twist. The moutabble was absolutely delicious, smoky while retaining its flavour and the fattouch salad a plentiful and fresh offering.
Hot Mezzeh
We enjoyed a great batatas bel felfol, small diced potatoes, deliciously crispy and fluffy and despite our best efforts to avoid the whole bowl, moreish as heck!
We could also choose from makanek (little Lebanese sausages, not spicy like sujuk so great for a lunchtime offering) or sawda. If you're a lover of chicken livers, these are an amazing option, doused with a sweet pomegranate sauce. We mopped the rest of this up with the bread and enjoyed every mouthful!
Main
The mixed grill was big enough for both of us to share without being overwhelming. The highlights of this for me were the kofta (I'm not normally a fan, so this was quite the thing!) and the shish taouk which was tender and well-seasoned.
Dessert
We finished with a choice of either rice pudding or mouhalabiyeh - we loved the latter the best!
At just AED99 per person, this business lunch is a great deal. Sit by the window and watch the world go by or head out to the almost covered terrace and get the with-shisha option for AED149.
Service is smiley and slick with just the right amount of attentiveness for a lunchtime. Thanks Grand Beirut - we'll be back!
