Following its huge success last summer, Najma Lebanon has returned to InterContinental London Park Lane, bringing the flavours of Lebanese cuisine to Mayfair. Now open until the end of October, expect an authentic taste of the Middle East with a plethora of aromatic sharing dishes which champion the delightful scents and fragrant spices of Lebanon.
Meaning ‘star’ in Arabic, enjoy a relaxed dining experience set to the backdrop of deep blues and gold hues which feature throughout the restaurant’s décor. With a choice of a set menu (from £65pp) or A La Carte, Najma’s menus are designed for sharing, from hot and cold mezzeh small plates to refreshing salads and dishes straight off the grill.
Kick things off with dips such as Hummus Bi Tahineh and Baba Ghanouj, or starters of Roasted Chicken Wings with lemon and chilli garlic sauce and Batata Harrah – crispy potatoes with punchy paprika, garlic, lemon and coriander.
Larger plates straight from the grill include the signature Whole Sea Bass with sautéed spinach, dakkous and a saffron cream sauce, and Shish Tawouk of marinated chicken thighs with beetroot hummus, alongside platters of Minted Lamb chops with za’atar-spiced chips, and a Roasted Vegetable & Chickpea Tagine with warm khobez flatbread. A selection of light and fresh salads including traditional Tabbouleh and Fattouche sing on the menu, whilst there is a host of dessert delights which are worth leaving room for; think Sticky Date Pudding and Kunafa Cheesecake, plus a Baklava table to take your pick of homemade bites.
