Middle East — Restaurant in Como

I revently dined at the Middle East restaurant in Como, and it was an exceptional experience. The restaurant offers truly authentic Lebanese cuisine, and every dish I tried was packed with flavor.

I ordered the falafel and shawarma, and both were absolutely delicious. The falafel was crispy and well-seasoned, while the shawarma was tender and perfectly spiced. For dessert, I enjoyed the Madlouka, which was a delightful sweet treat, paired perfectly with a cup of their aromatic tea.

One of the highlights of my visit was chatting with the chef at the end of the meal. I took the opportunity to compliment him on the spectacular dishes, and he was warm and appreciative.

Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I would definitely go back soon! Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Lebanese...

There is only so much Italian food you can eat. My Italian friends will probably be unforgiving for saying it but it’s out in the open now. In sydney we have great Lebanese so as I strolled past I thought 💭 let’s have a night off pasta and so on. I went inside with very low expectations. So of course what a pleasure it was to have the kibbe nay arrive with the tum and salad and the dips and bread with three wonderfully fresh and hot felafel 🥙. Listen - if you are in Como and need a break from Italian food - if you are looking for something that’s clean and fresh but not a classic Niçoise salad etc - time to head down to the promenade around the lake and straight into...

We will not be back. We were enjoying a nice meal. Then all of a sudden the smoke filled the restaurant. I asked our server she kindly went outside and asked them to stop smoking right in front of the door at the restaurant. 2 seconds later one of the chefs literally stared me down for over 2 minutes and did not move. Obviously he was mad he had to stop smoking or he could have moved over 10 steps. I chose not to smoke and wanted to eat a nice meal. Not my chef smoke and blow his breathe on me while I was eating.

Overall the food was pretty solid. The tahini on the falafel was different tasting but the hummus and salad...
