Experience the flavor festival of Levantine cuisine at Awani, a restaurant serving delicious meals resembling the comforting taste of home away from home.
Levantine cuisine consists of dishes from Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Jordan. It is known for its fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors.
Awani’s menu boasts a great selection of mezze (cold and hot appetizers), salads, seasoned grilled meats, and hearty stews.
Starting strong with Awani’s signature salads, the tabbouleh and fattoush may seem like simple dishes offered in most Levantine restaurants, but in Awani, they are a gastronomic experience, complemented by homemade dressings: a lemon-based dressing for the tabbouleh and a pomegranate molasses dressing for the fattoush.
The tabbouleh’s dressing gives it a nice tangy kick, perfect to combine with their stews or mixed grills for additional flavor.
For a more refreshing option, the fattoush is crispy from its toasted pita bread pieces and crunchy lettuce and green capsicum.
The kafta tomato meal is a ground meat stew cooked with potatoes and tomatoes. This stew is served with the classic Lebanese rice, consisting of long grain rice and toasted vermicelli noodles. This dish comes in a combo option served with a choice of salad and dessert, making it the perfect three-course meal.
Awani’s must-try dishes include the chicken fatteh and shish tawook, a grilled chicken served with a savory garlic sauce and crispy french fries.
Finish your meal with a mulahabia, a classic Middle Eastern milk pudding infused with orange blossom water, giving it a sweet floral flavor.
Awani was first established in the UAE and then expanded to Saudi Arabia, with three locations in Riyadh: Olaya, Nakheel Mall, and Zone Mall.
