A growing brand of AWJ Investments – A Food & Beverage Holding Group, that explores popular Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and International flavours.

Awani is a contemporary oriental restaurant serving fusion Levant food with a creative culinary twist – inspired by Arabian hospitality. With proficiency in Lebanese and Armenian gastronomy, it makes it a melting pot of the Levant, indeed.

Awani started the first outlet in JBR in March 2014, with its success, AWJ has now ventured the third branch of Awani, in Dubai Mall. All three branches are strategically located across popular tourist and dining destinations in Dubai.

We had been to this newly opened branch at Dubai mall for dinner. It is located near the popular toy store Hamley’s on the second level of the mall. The interiors are contemporary designed, the wooden interiors with the hanging tungsten lamps creates a warm atmosphere, where Chefs prepare dishes using centuries-old methods of cooking that truly distinguish levantine cuisine.

We had the Shankleesh Salad to start with –  Special Salad made with red lettuce, grated, mature cheese, mushroom, walnut and green apple, served with the Chief’s special sauce.

In the side we had a hot mezza the Hummus with Meat – Traditional hummus topped with pieces of veal, olive oil and pine nuts. We had it with the freshly baked Arabic bread (khubs).

I am more of a protein lover so we had the lamb chops – Seasoned lamb chops and potato, grilled to perfection.

Chargrilled Tiger Prawn – Chargrilled marinated tiger prawns served with a selection of grilled vegetables, garlic, lemon and French fries.

We had a perfect healthy high protein dinner. The food was fresh and tasty. Service was good. Staff are very friendly and the ambiance is very pleasant.
