How to Choose a Lebanese Charcoal Grill Platter in Muscat
How to Choose a Lebanese Charcoal Grill Platter in Muscat
Start with the small mixed grill if you want to sample shish tawook, kabab and meat tikka. The large platter offers the same selection in a larger format. Choose the premium mixed grill if you also want wings and lamb chops. At Al Arz Tree, a Lebanese restaurant in Muscat, you can also order individual skewers when everyone at the table has a favourite.
Small, large or premium mixed grill?
Decide whether you want more of the same skewers or more variety. Both the small and large mixed grills combine chicken tawook, kabab and meat tikka. The premium adds cuts with a different texture, including lamb chops, as well as chicken wings. If you are ordering for a mixed group, ask about portions when you order and decide how much room to leave for mezze.
What is the difference between tawook and kabab?
Tawook is marinated chicken grilled on a skewer. Our kabab combines minced lamb and beef with onion and Lebanese spices. The kabab has the softer bite of minced meat, while the tawook has the texture of grilled chicken pieces. Order both if you want to compare the two, or add lamb chops if someone at the table prefers a bone-in cut.
What goes well with charcoal grills?
Fattoush brings crunch and the tang of sumac to the table. Smooth hummus is useful when people want a dip to share. Swap hummus for mutabbal if you enjoy the smoky flavour of roasted eggplant alongside the grilled meat. If the platter already has plenty of variety, one salad and one dip are a good place to start.
