5 Best Places in Mumbai to sample Middle Eastern food

Enjoy an array of flavours from this region across the city

Enjoy an array of flavours from this region across the city

Doner Kebab, Hummus, Kofte, Pilaf, Dolma, Pide and Baklava, seem to have caught the fancy of Mumbaikars, as suddenly, Middle Eastern cuisine seems to be gaining popularity in the city. The variety and simplicity of the dishes in this cuisine rest on good quality authentic ingredients. Meat, chickpeas, pickles, leafy vegetables, are typically used and grilling is the most popular method of cooking. A plethora of restaurants offering Middle Eastern fare, are making their presence felt in Mumbai. My top 5 picks :

Bayroute, Powai, Central Mumbai

This restaurant with tasteful interiors, offers the best of Middle Eastern food. From tender-grilled meats to robust kebabs and shwarmas, to flavourful salads and aromatic rice preparations, there are options galore. The Bayroute Hummus with Pita boasts of a silky texture and smoky flavours, which simply melts-in-the-mouth. The Cumin Lamb Kebab, is hearty and redolent with flavours of this region. Vegetarians will relish the Pumpkin Kibbeh. The Mint Chocolate and Greek Yogurt Popsicles is the apt grand finale.

Rue Du Liban, Fort, South Mumbai

The food here is primarily from the South East corner of the Mediterranean. Expect to enjoy cold and hot mezze and grills, salads and breads, mains and desserts. Abundant vegetarian options too. The fluffy, warm Pita bread with Hommos and Mouhamara, is something you cannot miss. The Tabbouleh is refreshing, tangy and crunchy. The Lamb Kibbeh with a crispy crust, is melt-in-the-mouth and well-spiced. Although this menu here is meat-centric, vegetarian dishes abound. The Baklava, made of phyllo pastry soaked in syrup and chopped nuts, sandwiched in a scoop of ice-cream, is pure ecstasy for the taste buds.

Maffy’s, Sea Palace Hotel, Mumbai

Named after a fictional character who travels across the globe, Maffy’s offers delectable fare from the Middle Eastern region, with chef’s own creative spin.


Signature Smokey Cauliflower Hummus

The ingredients and spices are authentic and the resultant flavours are comforting. The Smoked Hummus with spicy Shrimps is a must have. Moroccan Chermoula Paneer, Kabab Kash Kash and Turkish Bread or Pide, stand out among the offerings.


Bamia Bamia

The flavourful Chicken Machboos Rice is a rare treat and will delight any carnivore. Gorge on the Baklava Lollipops or Chocolate Hummus for dessert.
