The Lentil Soup
For starter, enjoy the Lentil Soup. This heart-warming soup, is very fresh, light yet flavorful. Or you can opt for the Fatoush, a salad dish consists of green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes seasoned with herbs, olive oil, and lemon, a nice kick start before the main course. Well, since it’s serving in buffet style, do try both anyway.
Fatoush
Pita Bread is probably the most common type of Middle Eastern bread. At the Marriott Café, it is done in a nice portion size, have it with salad like Fatoush, dip it with Hummus or as a sandwich with falafel, any how you like, it sure will satisfy your appetite.
Hommos and Moutabel
Hummus and Moutabel are not to be missed… truly remarkable!! Dipped with the grilled pita bread, you can just go on and on and on..
As for Mushwieh Salad, with tomatoes and bell peppers as the base ingredients, with additions of other authentic herbs, spices and ingredients, is undoubtedly very well prepared. The side dish ‘olive’ in its full original form, not found in Medan is such a heaven to just munch it away.
Falafel
Falafel is a popular dish in the Middle East. The main ingredient chickpeas, are cooked and blend with fresh herbs such as onion, garlic, parsley. Have it combined with side fillings like fresh tomatos, tahini sauce and stuff it into the pita bread, and you have a mini Falafel sandwich.
Fish with Tahineh
Tahineh or Tahina is the Lebanese term for sesame paste. Both young and old will love Fish with Tahineh for its lightly battered fish fillet, drizzled it with the Tahina sauce and you get a nice simple rich and savory dish.
Should you fear that the Middle Eastern food may not suit your friends or families, other regular dishes are served along side as well.
Price at Rp 128.000++ per person inclusive of hot tea and tajil
