Suq Restaurant

Named after the traditional Arabian marketplace, Suq restaurant invites guests into a warm and inviting atmosphere with its Arabesque appeal, offering Iftar and Suhour daily throughout the Holy Month in a cosy lounge setting.

Iftar at Suq will leave guests captivated, not only by the place but by the plentiful and suitably lavish food, all cooked right before their eyes.  Suq will welcome guests in with the warm sweet smell of freshly baked bread, and adding further to the atmosphere are the live cooking stations where guests can amble among the extensive array of cuisine, soaking in the bustle of activity and enjoying freshly prepared treats from the chefs as they present the best of traditional Iftar dishes and other global specialities.  

Among the selection will be highlights such as a rainbow of different kofta servings brimming either cheese, mushroom, pistachio or eggplant, adding extra relish to the traditionally served dish.  Alongside these servings will be cold mezze favourites such as watermelon carpaccio with smoked halloumi cheese as well as beetroot salad with avocado labneh foam.  As well as Arabic fare there is also a wide variety of global goodies, such as freshly made sushi and sashimi, and home-made pasta dripping in a variety of sauces.  There is also a live BBQ, which will be serving lamb kofta amongst other dishes.  If spices are what guests are seeking there is an Indian station, serving all the favourite flavours of India such as hot tandoori dishes and vegetarian medleys.  For those with a sweet tooth there is a dessert station with more than 18 different homemade ice creams and a creperie too.  If guests are too full to eat in the restaurant, Suq will be serving warm patisserie delicacies from the designated cake counter, to take away too.

During Suhour, guests can select dishes from an Arabic a la carte menu and enjoy being served right to their table. The Suhour menu will include added surprises as Suq is preparing kishek manakish.
