Chef Alan Geaam (who holds one Michelin star in his eponymous restaurant) has added another string to his bow with this vegetarian Lebanese restaurant. Behind the stoves is Zeinab Hachem, his niece, who was trained by his mother in the subtleties of traditional Lebanese cuisine. Some of the dishes have already secured iconic status, such as the vegetarian shawarma with celery and mushrooms, or the daoud basha – lentil balls with almonds and spices, served in a tomato sauce. The affordable menu also features their own take on authentic Lebanese flavours: vegetable freekeh; vegetarian soujouk (sausages) and signature creations such as mama ganoush (cauliflower caviar). Reflecting the cuisine, the minimalist decor is adorned with natural, plant-based materials. Booking essential.
