This Ramadan, loved ones are invited to gather on the pretty shaded terrace of ZOE Modern Greek Kouzina, and savour a unique, delicious and heartwarming iftar set menu, served with a special Greek twist.
Fusing the precious rituals of a traditional Middle Eastern iftar with the finest culinary delicacies of Athens, Santorini, Mykonos and beyond, Zoe’s Ramadan dining experience is ideal for those who are looking for a different and memorable way to break their fast.
A beautiful tribute to the vibrant, bold and fresh flavours of the idyllic Greek islands, the carefully curated menu spans Greece’s most-loved family-favourite recipes, all expertly crafted with premium ingredients sourced directly from Greece, and presented with a contemporary and elegant spin.
As the sun sets over the moored yachts of Marsa Al Bateen, guests are invited to start with a comforting bowl of the chef’s homemade soup of the day. Offering a different tasty flavour every day, this heartwarming light starter is accompanied by a choice of classic crunchy Greek salad with crumbled barrel-aged feta, or charred corn and tomato salad with a delightful lemon and paprika dressing.
But the healthy starters don’t stop there. Diners are served a portion of irresistible golden feta-cheese sambousek and tomato keftedes, featuring fresh juicy tomato, feta and herbs, all expertly fried to perfection.
Moving to the satisfying main courses, diners will be spoilt for choice with the tantalising options on offer. Conquering postcard-perfect scenes of the bright blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the succulent grilled souvlaki for one presents skewers of tender chicken, aromatic lamb and juicy beef, accompanied by fragrant rice, creamy tzatziki dip, piccalilli and freshly made warm pita breads.
Meanwhile, the three-hour slow cooked beef stifado brings a wonderfully tender texture and rich flavour, and the crispy-skinned, 48-hour marinated chicken, served with magnificent marbled potatoes, is bound to be a dish that every food connoisseur will remember forever.
Finally, those in the mood for something nutrient-packed and ultra comforting should look no further than the creamy chicken rigatoni pasta.
Completing the experience on a happy sweet note, guests won’t be able to resist devouring every last spoonful of the rizogalo rice pudding, or the elegant saragli Greek baklava rolls.
Every set menu is further enhanced with a choice of bespoke refreshing mocktails, while the bright and beautiful blue and white Greek island-like décor, warm and welcoming ambiance, and friendly Zoe team make each iftar an experience to remember forever.
The ZOE Modern Greek Kouzina iftar set menu is available daily from sunset, priced AED 129 with one choice of drink.
