Al Aseel Restaurant Alexandria

Overview

Nothing short of a feast will be had at Al Asseel. This is the place to come with your nearest and dearest when you want to eat so much you can barely walk back to the car.

Here, you'll find all the share-style dishes that make Lebanese cuisine a great choice for group meals. You'll want to make sure you order the dips such as baba ghanoush, hummus and garlic dip; finger food like vine leaves and falafel; and mains like shish tawook (grilled chicken), laham mishwi (grilled lamb), kofta and lamb shanks. For salads, think tabouli and Al Aseel's signature fattoush. And, you'll of course want some flatbreads to soak up all the dip and sauces.
