The place was packed, just like all the other restaurants at Le Mall. It’s the holiday season, people are shopping and are bound to get hungry. I think the reason they choose to sit at Mann Wa Salwa is not because of the food but for it’s location. This Lebanese restaurant is situated in an are area where people can smoke and enjoy a narguilleh.I liked
- The water glasses are quite original
- Their menu is original covered with an original oriental textile which matches their table runners
- They serve CocaCola
- They serve to start: “Markouk bread’ with a small bowl of olives, radishes and mint leaves
The Place
We ordered
- Mix order of Hommos, Labne and Moutabal: The order came super late
- Hommos: Tasteless
- Fattouch
- Tabbouli
- Cheese Rakakat
- Sambousik
- Grilled Fish
- Grilled Shrimps
- Mixed Grilled Platter: Chich Taouk, Kafta and Meat
- Arayes Cheese and ham which comes open – melted cheese on ham on a thin “markouk bread” – It had a weird taste
How can Hommos be bland, Tabboule be so tasteless and a selection of grilled dishes leave me feeling hungry – all have no taste, no flavor, no seasoning no nothing. I felt that the plates looked half empty. They were not rich.
The waiters seemed a bit lost and confused as some orders where not served and others came late. But it was nice of them to have removed the late plates from the final bill. I appreciated that.
They have something… the ambiance is not bad – work a bit harder on your food. The competition is fierce – there’s no room for mediocre food.
