You have probably heard of this famous dish, Hummus. Hummus is a dip made of a basic base of chickpeas, tahini and garlic all blended together until smooth and creamy. Found in the appetizer section in basically all Middle Eastern restaurants and just generally everywhere in the Middle East, hummus is a staple dish that can be eaten plain with some fresh pita or added to other dishes to act like a condiment. Shawarma. This dish is so good that a lot of countries have their own variation of the Shawarma. Like a Greek gyro, but with more easily identifiable meat, the meat is slow-roasted on a turning spit, lending juiciness, and tenderness. Tabbouleh. Most middle eastern dishes are hearty and heavy and if you want something healthy and light, Tabbouleh has got you covered. Chock full of green herbs, tomatoes and bulgur (aka cracked wheat), tabbouleh is a refreshing side dish full of bold flavor. Baklava. Let’s go on something sweet, with this flaky and indulgent dessert, Baklava. Thin sheets of phyllo dough are layered between a filling usually made from a type of nut that’s coarsely ground and mixed with honey, sugar, and spices. It’s topped off with a drizzling of sticky, sweet syrup as the finishing touch to a unique dessert. Pistachio and walnut baklava is common, but fillings can also be fruity or other flavors. Look out for fun shapes, too: baklava comes in cylinders, birds’ nests and triangle shapes among other varieties butter and sugar? No doubt that this dessert is no less than amazing. Manakeesh. This you might say is the Arabian pizza. Manakeesh is a round bread sprinkled with either cheese, ground meat or herbs. It can be found in small food joints as well in upscale restaurants. It's ideal for breakfast or lunch though it can also be a great snack to fuel you up during the day. One of the most common fillings of manakeesh is Zaatar, a Middle Eastern spice blend that includes oregano, thyme, and marjoram. It has a distinct and savory flavor and is used in a variety of Middle Eastern dishes, though applying a liberal dusting of it to any bread product is equally satisfying. Falafel. Next to hummus, falafel could be just right below it for being the most famous middle eastern dish. The beloved falafel is made up of round chickpeas and are blended with herbs and spices before being formed into patties and fried. Falafel is at its best fresh out of the fryer, when the crunchy exterior contrasts with a light and fluffy inside, surely no one would like a cold falafel. Traditionally, a falafel sandwich is an over-stuffed pita masterpiece that includes tangy pickles, fresh vegetables and tahini sauce. Do not miss out on this meal of magnificence. Kunafa. This delicious cheesecake uses Nabulsi cheese, which is common to Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon. The blush coloring comes from orange blossom water or rose water. Kunafah can be synonymous to celebration, it is no party without this savory dessert. The traditional way to make knafeh is on an open flame, constantly turning it until the cheese melts and the dough crisps up. It can be served hot or cold. Dash pistachios on top and be prepared for a life-changing experience. Arabian Feast. This is not just a dish but it’s a combination of dishes that is commonly done in middle eastern countries to celebrate or just something to look forward to on the weekend. Normally an Arabian feast is composed of hummus, chicken shawarma, grilled vegetables, kofta, shish tawook, fattoush, and khobz. As it implies it’s for sharing, surely the delicious combinations of these different dishes would satisfy anyone. It’s for friends and family to enjoy and for food to once again bring everybody closer. Make sure to subscribe to find out all the best things to do in your favorite city.
