I recently had dinner at Alibaba Restaurant in Gzira — my second visit, and once again, I was delighted by the delicious Lebanese-style food, adapted perfectly to modern tastes.
We began with a selection of dips, served with warm pitta bread on the side. Then came the lamb meat pie — simply amazing. For the main course, we enjoyed perfectly cooked lamb tenderloin and chicken breast, both prepared in true Lebanese style. On the side, we had herb-seasoned potato wedges that complemented the dishes beautifully.
To finish, we couldn’t resist our favourite dessert at Alibaba: Muhalebija — a sweet, creamy treat that never disappoints. Throughout the evening, we sipped on chilled Chardonnay and sparkling water.
The service was excellent, with friendly staff who served us with a smile. The owner, the humble and welcoming Hany Harb, was especially helpful in recommending the perfect dishes for our meal.
I highly recommend Alibaba Restaurant and will definitely be returning. Be sure to book a table in advance so you won’t be disappointed!
