FOOD Za'atar Salad Zaatar is a spice mix made from fresh herbs like oregano, thyme along with some sesame seeds. This salad was having dressing made from za'atar spice along with some olive oil.

Cafe Arabia has been the harbinger of Middle Eastern cuisine in the city and I've been frequenting it since almost a decade now. The QSR chain serves up a mix of classic Middle Eastern offerings along with some fusion variations all at a very VFM price point. My forever favourite thing to order here is the Falafel platter. Priced at ₹220, it comprises of Pita bread, hot falafels, hummus, pickled carrots & labneh. All the flavours are on point. If you're new to Middle Eastern fare, this is what you should begin with. On this particular visit, I tried the Fattoush salad (₹160). With sumac, herbed vinaigrette, lettuce, onion rings, peppers and cubed cottage cheese - although it was nice to eat, I definitely missed the crunch that the addition of pita chips would have given. For mains, I tried the 'Herbed buttered rice with paneer shwarma & hummus'. The rice by itself is brilliant. The Paneer shwarma bits needs to be seasoned differently in my opinion. The masalas were too strong and tasted raw. I would lap up just that rice with hummus anyday! The Lemon Iced Tea was the only beverage available and unfortunately tasted neither of lemon nor of tea. Give it a pass. Cafe Arabia has plenty of grills on offer along with some absolutely VFM food combos. It's also a vastly healthier eating out choice. Do give them a try when you're shopping at...
