Al Safadi - Arabic cuisine

Al Safadi is a well-known name for Arabic cuisine and it started its Umm Sequim outlet recently. This outlet is huge and spacious and you'll also find parking near it easily.
it has outside seating as well as inside; and another interesting thing about the inside seating is that it has designated smoking and non-smoking area. So if you want to sit inside and do not like the smell of shisha, there is a designated zone for you.

We started with the all-time favourite - the hummus. We ordered the hummus beiruty, which usually is the one with parsley and some spices. This one also had cumin in it, which was something new to me, and that brought about a peculiar flavour to it - a bit of an Indian flavour.

Along with that they served fresh hot bread. This was brown bread unlike the usual white one. Also, the waiters would come intermittently with a basket of hot bread and would replace the old one on your table. A small gesture like this goes a long way to show about their hospitality.

After that we ordered the mix grill.

It contained shish tawook (chicken), lamb, and beef kebabs.

The shish tawook was great and so was the beef, but the lamb seemed a bit under-cooked and was a tad bit hard.

The service was quick though.

They've kept a lot of plants in the dining area and this gives a very natural feel to the ambience. There's also a video clip of their food being played on the TV which makes you even more hungrier and tempted to order more food.

The menu has a wide variety of food, and if you're looking to try out some good Arabic food, I'd certainly recommend you to visit this place.
