Al Mandaloun - Review
Visited this fabulous #Lebanese restaurant called @mandaloundifc with my foodie friend @surenrajamohan.
Situated in the gate village with a seating capacity of over 400 pax, Mandaloun is the first ever lebanese restaurant in Gate village and most popular one.
We started with all the usual in Middle Eastern mezze including hommous, tabbouleh, chicken liver and needles to say, a basket of hot homemade bread.
The mezze were reasonably good. Personal fave for both of us was the hot mezze - the liver.
In the mains we ordered a mixed seafood platter and shared. The platter came with salmon, seabass, prawns and saffron rice along with grilled carrot and broccoli.
The cost was AED 269 for the platter. The quality was good, quantity was just OK for two people to share.
We finished it off with desserts. In desserts we had Ghazal Beirut - a dessert of ice cream wrapped around with candy floss and Ice cream Kunafa.
Both the desserts are a creative idea but execution could be better. The ice cream in the kunafa melted before it reached my table, which resulted in a soggy dessert. The Ghazal Beirut had more of candy floss and less of ice cream. The dish was so huge, it took a good 15 minutes to finish. Could be a great treat for kids but definitely not for the super busy executives working around DIFC area.
Have shared the reviews with the fabulous team who were ever willing to listen. The outlet manager Mohammed Fadil is a very friendly guy and he takes excellent care of guests.
Mandaloum also has a nice cosy corner for Shisha with good music and great Turkish coffee.
Shisha gave a perfect ending to a perfect dinner
