In no overrated flattery, dining at Kazbar left a fairly deep impression on me. When stepping into the restaurant, the ambience easily transports you to a mood of anticipation for a promising dining experience through its chic, modern yet nostalgic and mesmerizing Middle Eastern setting and decor.

Being a novice at Middle Eastern cuisine, my ignorance of what to order was well taken care of when the staff recommended and planned the dinner course. For starters, I really had fun trying the Mixed Mezze Plate. It was made up of servings of hummus, moutabel, babaganoush, cheese borek and falafel. Like its charming names, each brought a different surprise with the variety of teasing flavors that quickly wets the tastebuds and opens up your appetite.

If you are a spinach lover or rather not a spinach lover, then the Kibbeh and Spinach Borek is a must try. The visual of the dish could almost fool you to think that it would be uninteresting. To my nose's surprise, it was greeted with the pleasant fragrance of the spinach which slowly dispersed when the borek was cut up. Like the next dish that was served, the texture, flavor and scent combined made the Tabbouleh Salad tasted so natural that it reminded me of fresh grass and the smell of the morning dew.

The Mixed Grill Plate, which should have been the highlight of the dinner, was less impressive in its flavor. The texture of the cubes of lamp chop, shish taouk, shish kebab and kofta made chewing quite a chore. This dish basically did not entice me to take more servings which I usually would when enjoying kebab at other restaurants. Personally, what redeemed this dish was the Lebanese red wine that was served as an accompaniment. There is a character and strength to this wine in its distinct but not overpowering smell and taste. This is not much of a description but I would really recommend trying this when patronizing Kazbar.

If finding a different place to chill with friends and colleagues is a challenge, then it is worth going down to enjoy the night out and be entertained by the whole dining experience at Kazbar.

Food, in a cosmopolitan melting hotpot of modern Singapore, with multi-cultures and religions, is like a passion, a pilgrimage and an universal bonding that unites not just Singaporeans, our lovely visitors and friends from all around the world.

Kazbar at Church Street, has a great ambience, lovely crowds, cool place to chill out and awesome Middle East cuisine, well suited for your dinner date or even your corporate functions or alumni functions ! During the ORTU, I had a great time chatting with fellow OpenRicers and Michelle, a great host, with her warm hospitality and sharing.

The ORTU food tasting list was really really very delicious, along with Michelle's patiently showing and explaining which dish was which, it made it very interesting and intriguing. A great eye opener for me was learning more about Middle Eastern cuisine, considering that I had traveled a fair bit and tasted different foods from different cultures and countries, during ORTU @ Kazbar, I learned a lot more about Middle Eastern cuisine !

Each dish that I tasted, simply delicious, especially the charcoal grilled mixed platter ! Oh yes, I must specially mention that we tasted a year 2002 vintage red wine from Lebanon vineyards ! As much as my knowledge and understanding of wine, it was my very 1st experience with wine from Lebanon,something that I never heard before and I am glad to learn something new that night! My recommendation is to try it !!
