Faraon Restaurant

Faraon Restaurant - Review - Doral - Miami - The Infatuation

"No one does dips like Faraon. The Doral restaurant whips up outstanding versions of baba ganoush, muhammara, labneh, and hummus. It’s a Lebanese dip Mount Rushmore that comes with both soft and toasted pita for texture variation. They also make crisp falafel with a moist, fluffy interior. It barely needs the side of tahini it comes with. To get the most out of this place, order from a platter and come with a group. The restaurant has colorful pandal drapes hanging from the ceiling, but it’s casual enough to show up in Havaianas for lunch. They cater, too, in case you want to have those dips for your cousin’s third baby shower. video credit: Mariana Trabanino Food Rundown Dip Mix Platter This is the Mount Rushmore of dips we were talking about. It comes with muhammara, baba ganoush, hummus, and labneh—all excellent. Along with the crispy pita you see here, it also comes with an additional side of soft pita, which is considerate to those of us who prefer our pitas untoasted.

The side of tahini is a nice touch. PlayMute video credit: Mariana Trabanino Kafta Kabab Wrap You get a subtle hint of sweetness from the cinnamon in the kafta. The meat is juicy and tender—and if you don’t finish it because you scarfed down too much hummus, it travels well for a snack later.

They have a spongy texture and pair wonderfully with the scoop of vanilla ice cream they give you here. PlayMute video credit: Mariana Trabanino" - Mariana Trabanino
