Zaatar Lebanese & Syrian Cuisine

Zaatar uses legumes, grains and seeds, as well as fruit, homemade yogurt, nuts, herbs and spices, to create authentic and delicious Lebanese dishes. The food is served in small portions so that customers can try many different alternatives, and everything is shared by the whole table, bringing a sense of community and sharing to the meal.

Dining

The delicious Cypriot cuisine lies at the heart of the island's culture. The Cypriot meze is a banquet fit for a king with about twenty different traditional dishes. Meze is often the dish of choice for local Cypriots, ordering them for feasts, celebrations, anniversaries and other joyous occasions. It starts light with salads, dips, olives and fresh bread. Then you start to work your way up with snails, octopus in red wine, pickled capers and greens, followed by grilled halloumi (Greek cheese made from sheep and goat’s milk), smoked pork, fish, keftedes (meatballs), sheftalia and traditional Greek sausages. Then come the kebabs, chicken and lamb chops.
