Don Anuar is a place for Lebanese food located in the Narvarte neighborhood, which has gained fame thanks to its authentic flavors, as it belongs to a family whose tradition has been passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, it is an incredible option if you are looking for classic dishes from Lebanese cuisine. The offerings at this restaurant are delicious, characterized by a homemade touch, but they are also very varied. Their menu includes typical dishes such as hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves, tabbouleh, rice with noodles, and kibbeh balls, among other delights. If you want to try a bit of everything, then you must order the Lebanese platter. If you like kebabs, then you must try one of their three options: falafel, pork shawarma, or kibbeh ball kebab; they are finger-licking good! Remember that you can pair all these Lebanese dishes with a glass of wine, beer, or refreshing beverages. To end your visit to Don Anuar on a high note, we recommend trying their exquisite Arabic sweets. You can choose from finger of bride, belewe, graybe, burma, and fig or date pie. Don’t forget to pair it with a coffee!Additionally, they have special products and dishes for sale that they prepare upon request, such as the famous shanklish cheese, which has a fermented, tangy, creamy, and spicy flavor; it is simply DE-LI-CI-OUS.The best thing about Don Anuar is that every product is made in-house, from the jocoque, the Arabic bread that is sold on weekends, to the succulent and famous Arabic sweets. As if that weren't enough, they use products brought from the Middle East, such as olive oil, which has a smooth and delicate flavor.The family and the workers at this restaurant are very friendly, the service is warm, and if you are lucky enough to meet the owner and chat with him, he will share incredible culinary anecdotes. Now, his eldest daughter is the one who has taken on the task of continuing this tradition alongside her father.*Photos taken from Don Anuar on Facebook
