Harrat offers visitors with a refreshing farm-to-table Caesar salad as a starter. It is a delightful mix of parmesan slices, juicy shrimp, crisp lettuce, and sweet pomegranate.
The main course options included intriguing Middle Eastern and African-inspired dishes. The "Basha w Asakro" from Syria and the olive and lemon Moroccan chicken tajine were flavorful highlights.
The dish "Basha w Asakro" originally consisted of Shish Barak and kibbeh. However, the chefs at Harrat restaurant put their twist on it by replacing the kibbeh with fried Shish Barak. This delightful variation is served with a rich tomato sauce, deviating from the original recipe's yogurt soup.

Dessert is a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds. The mahalabia, topped with delicate Syrian cotton candy, is adorned with rose petals, pistachios, and a drizzle of caramel.
They also offer vanilla ice cream crowned with a date-paste flower, infused with Arabian spices like cardamom and cinnamon. A sprinkle of pistachios and a whole walnut added the final touch.
