We usually like to break our fast at home, but a recent visit to The H Hotel for Iftar had us running back for more.  With celebrity Chef Silvena in their kitchen, the food is a fusion of Arabic with her Ottoman heritage.
For starters, we tried several varieties of homemade Labneh with Chilies, Zaatar, and Pistachios along with sides of Hummous, Moutabal and Fattoush salad.  Everything we had was fresh and light, making it the perfect way to break the long day of fasting.
Mains include meat and vegetables cooked in various ways, including perfectly grilled Adana Kebabs, mouthwatering Cumin crusted baby Squid, freshly baked Cheese Bastiya, and hearty Vegetable Tagine.
We couldn’t get enough of the moist and tender Green Shawarma Marinated Chicken, freshly fried crispy Falafels, and made-to-order Shawarmas.
Despite full tummies, we couldn’t resist the tempting spread of desserts that included flourless Chocolate Cake, Panna Cotta, and Crème Brulee.  The Umm-Ali and Cheese Kunafa were both served hot and well worth saving space for.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Iftar experience and were thrilled to discover that the meal had been prepared by Chef Silvena, a Chef from the BBC Food show Saturday Kitchen.
Great food in a relaxed atmosphere.
