With the World Trade Centre area completely jam-packed with restaurants, are you ever at a loss about where to go and eat?\u00a0Well, after we experienced an evening at this\u00a0newly opened Lebanese restaurant\u00a0at the WTC, we know we’ve found one of the best Lebanese places\u00a0going.\u00a0In case you haven’t already heard\u00a0–\u00a0Mazaher<\/strong>\u00a0has arrived.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
First impressions<\/h3>\n
The caf\u00e9-cum-restaurant initially\u00a0has a more international feel. On entry, our attention\u00a0was\u00a0immediately drawn towards a\u00a0300 year old tree in the centre of the dining room floor\u00a0which blends in\u00a0beautifully\u00a0with\u00a0the surrounding d\u00e9cor;\u00a0this is the\u00a0casual caf\u00e9\u00a0area, however similar interiors follow into\u00a0the more formal dining room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

What we ate<\/h3>\n
One of the biggest problems I have going to a Lebanese restaurant is that I\u2019m afraid to ask for help with the menu,\u00a0so I always end up with the same thing. Not this time however.\u00a0Khalid and his amazing\u00a0team went through the menu with us in depth and suggested we try the tasting menu which would give us a real feel for the menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the\u00a0Cold Mezzeh we especially loved the new flavours introduced to us with the Kebbe Naye, Basterma Roll and Vine Leaves, the portions were HUGE however, and with hot mezzeh, mains and desserts still to come we did our best not to polish it all off.<\/p>\n
For the Hot Mezzah we had the chicken liver and\u00a0the fresh fish, which was\u00a0cooked beautifully in\u00a0a lightly\u00a0spiced sauce.<\/p>\n
We were now ready for the main course;\u00a0the mixed grill was delicious but it was the freshly prepared haddock,\u00a0(that we managed to finish with ease\u00a0despite how full we were)\u00a0which stole the show.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n
What you can expect<\/h3>\n
Even for people not\u00a0working or living in the area, I strongly recommend trying this place out. The food was exceptional, the staff were\u00a0very friendly and\u00a0always on hand to help, and as an added bonus,\u00a0they all seem to have a long history in the restaurant trade and really know their food.<\/p>\n
These guys are putting on a great Iftar menu, make sure you call in advance to snag a spot.<\/p>\n
What you’ll pay<\/h3>\n
For Lebanese food, the prices are slightly on the higher side, but if you\u00a0are looking for\u00a0a fine dining Lebanese experience\u00a0it\u2019s worth paying the extra little bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Starters vary from AED 30-50, mains from AED\u00a080-200 and deserts from AED35\u00a0( ask for the signature Mazaher Bouza;\u00a0a real\u00a0treat for anyone with a sweet tooth!)<\/p>\n
