Khayal:
Arabic
Fusion
Delight
recently
had
the
pleasure
of
dining
at
Khayal,
and
I
must
say,
it's
a
restaurant
that
excels
in
providing
impeccable
service
and
efficiency.
Unfortunately
we
were
left
hanging
for
some
time
to
be
seated.
However
this
was
made
up
by
the
service
provided
by
the
table
staff.
Khayal
offers
a
diverse
menu,
it's
important
to
note
that
the
cuisine
isn't
strictly
Turkish,
but
rather
a
fusion
of
various
Arabic
influences.
For
starters,
I
ordered
the
Mixed
Meze
Platter,
and
it
was
a
delightful
treat.
The
combination
of
flavors
and
textures
was
a
true
feast
for
the
senses.
Moving
on
to
the
main
course,
I
opted
for
the
Mixed
Platter,
which
included
delectable
Kibbeh,
samosas,
and
a
variety
of
grilled
items.
Among
them,
the
beef
awsal
and
the
cheesy
kebabs
stood
out
as
particularly
outstanding.
The
Grilled
Eggplant
was
cooked
to
perfection,
and
its
taste
was
simply
superb.
What
truly
impressed
me
was
the
presentation
of
the
dishes,
as
each
one
was
visually
appealing
and
well
thought
out.
Overall,
my
experience
with
the
food
was
enjoyable,
though
it's
worth
mentioning
that
the
spice
level
was
relatively
low.
We
tried
the
Baklawa
with
Ice
Cream.
While
it
was
decent,
the
true
star
was
the
soft
Kunafah
topped
with
coarse
Kunafah
and
ice
cream.
The
combination
of
textures
and
flavors
was
simply
scrumptious.
To
top
it
all
off,
the
complementary
tea
provided
was
a
perfect
10
out
of
10.
In
terms
of
rating,
Khayal
is
8.5
out
of
10.
The
restaurant
excels
in
service
and
efficiency,
and
their
mixed
platters
and
grilled
items
are
truly
delightful.
However,
the
lack
of
authentic
Turkish
flavors
might
disappoint
those
seeking
a
more
traditional
culinary
experience.
Nevertheless,
Khayal
offers
a
unique
fusion
of
Arabic
cuisines,
making
it
an
intriguing
choice
for
those
looking
to
explore
different
flavors.
