Restaurants and cafés are springing up all over Bluewaters Dubai, and the latest to open is Sah El Nom.
The brand-new restaurant brings Damascene-Syrian flavours to the new area. The restaurant itself is bright, white and airy, with an expansive terrace for cooler weather.
Sah El Nom boasts top views of Ain Dubai and is inspired by the Syrian TV show Sah Al Nawm. The restaurant aims to help guests to “spend quality time with friends, family and loved ones” and offers up a range of traditional Syrian dishes. To encourage family-friendly dining there’s a special kids’ menu that includes a mini-portion of main course, side and salad as well as a dessert and fresh juice.
Food one the menu includes a traditional levanter lentil soup, fattoush, mezze such as baba ganoush, stuffed vine leaves and batata harra (spicy potatoes). Main courses range from traditional ouzi short ribs (slow-cooked lamb), baked pumpkin stuffed with rice, minced meat and nuts to seuberg spinach (layers of dough with mixed cheese, spinach, dill and peppers). There is also a range of grills and kebabs including zaatar lamb chops, grilled prawns and shish taouk.
For dessert there’s cardamom cake, baklava, caramlised figs, kunafa and more.
Recipes are promised to have been passed down over generations to give a “unique and contemporary twist” to Syrian cuisine.
