I have very limited knowledge about Middle eastern food, so I had a really hard time trying to match exotic sounding names with the menu pictures and figuring out what they actually contain. The manager’s recommendations and descriptions definitely helped a lot. The service here is quite good, and the staff are very attentive (maybe because there weren't many people in the restaurant)Hommous+pita bread.

Hommous+pita bread. Hommous is an arabian food dip or spread made from cooked mashed chickpeas, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. The nutty part of the dip got to me first. It had the texture and consistency of peanut butter and there was a slightly nutty taste to it. Then the overwhelming beany taste hit and I didn’t quite get used to it at first. (Imagine chickpeas butter) But then I slowly got over the beany taste and realised the dip really went well with the warm pita bread served. Soon I was chomping on raw vegetables with the dip.
Chicken Shawarma with French fries. This was fantastic! The chicken bits were tender (somehow reminded me of KFC popcorn chicken) and the sauce goes very well with the chicken bits and the sandwich wrap around it. My impression of the meat served in this restaurant was tender and flavourful.
For desserts we had Mohalabia, a cream custard garnished with pistachio bits. The custard has a strong jasmine taste, just wished the custard could be less firm and more melt in your mouth!For more photos and details, pls visit, http://eugeniegene.tumblr.com/post/15561909804/al-qasr-holland-v
