A taste of middle eastern

Admittedly I don't know Middle Eastern cuisine well but X is a big fan. So when we found ourselves wondering around RWS looking for a place to eat, he was immediately drawn to Anar. The belly dancing, I'm sure helped pique his interest too but unfortunately we were too early. I believe it starts from 8pm.

Once inside, you feel immediately transported into the movie set of the Arabian Nights.


A complimentary starter of feta cheese

with a complimentary serving of pita bread
(they charge $2.50 for additional serving which I thought was unnecessary considering the restaurant but that was my only complaint of the evening, everything else - the food & service is excellent)

Moutabbal
X wanted to order this favorite Baba Ghanosh but the server highly recommended this instead. Also an eggplant dip. Excellent. We were happily dunking our bread in this

Hummus with minced beef
My favorite. Hummus is a chickpea puree perfectly complemented with bits of beef

Chicken livers - this was delicious.
All the starters appealed to us so we ordered 3.
Word of warning tho : the dips are rich & can fill you up especially if you eat with a lot of bread

Grilled Lamb Chops & Beef Medallions
Tasty & cooked just right but we still preferred the starters

A shot of their beautiful restroom
Will we return ? Absolutely !

Hub loves ME food too, and belly dancers too if their boobs were bigger than their bellies.
