Karaam Lebanese Restaurant

Karaam is a modern Lebanese restaurant with tiled floors, burgundy walls and elegantly laid out tables, right in the heart of Ealing Broadway. It serves traditional Lebanese cuisine, the epitome of the Mediterranean diet, with a generous use of seafood, fresh fish, fruits and vegetables. These are baked, grilled or sautéed and have the signature flavour of garlic and olive oil. 

Begin your meal here with cold or hot starters, and in cold weather, you could opt for the light and aromatic chicken or lentil soup. Do try the grilled chicken wings in garlic sauce or potato cubes sautéed with coriander and garlic, topped with fried vegetables. The good old hummus made of pureed chickpeas with sesame oil and lemon juice is another option. 

Once your appetite is whetted for the main course, there is plenty of choice, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Try the sea bass harra, the mixed grill of lamb cubes, minced lamb and chicken cubes served with tomatoes and onions, or settle for the well loved kafta khashkhash - minced lamb, parsley and garlic, grilled on skewers and served with a spicy tomato sauce. The baked aubergine with chickpeas, spices, onions and tomatoes, served with rice, is a hearty alternative.

There are light and healthy vegetable and sides to go with your mains, as well as a range of sandwiches if you are looking for a quick bite. Karaam serves a range of Lebanese and international wines, and beverages including an unusual concoction of apple, carrot and ginger juice, amongst others. Select from their desserts and fresh fruit to finish your meal in style.

The restaurant offers couple and group menus and caters to large gatherings, when on request, it serves whole lamb. Karaam means generosity in Lebanese, and the owner, Samir Hamze takes care that diners here are treated like his personal guests.  The philosophy here is 'One cannot think well, sleep well or love well if one has not dined well' so, get hedonistic and enjoy the excellent service and perfectly presented food.
