Restaurant Review: Al Hamra - Lebanese & Middle Eastern Cuisine in Holland Village

Restaurant Review: Al Hamra - Lebanese & Middle Eastern Cuisine in Holland Village

23 Lorong Mambong
Holland Village
Singapore 277682
+65 6464 8488 

On Sunday night, I went to Al Hamra in Holland Village to try this Lebanese restaurant, as so far I had only gone to Al Quasr at the very end of Lorong Mambong. 

Surprisingly, especially for a Sunday night and the hustle and bustle in Holland Village, the restaurant was only half-full and we could choose between a table either inside or outside. The deco at AL Hamra is nice but nothing to write home about. The service staff was quick and friendly and didn't seem to mind us taking our time to try and pick our dishes. Eventually, we went for a Hot Mezza Platter with Falafel, Sambousik, Spinach Fatayer, Lahem Bil Ajine,Kibbey Mekli and Cheese Reqaq. and Kebab Khash Khash, which is minced lamb meat on a bed of tomato sauce and onion served with Arabic rice. For drinks, we just had plain water and a cold Moroccan mint tea.

The drinks arrived quickly and after a short wait the food and also arrived. The Morrocan Mint tea was tasty, but not quite strong enough and I would have wished for a few more mint leafs in the glass to add a bit more flavor. Al Hamra's signature dishes appear to be the lamb dishes, as they were much more savory, albeit somewhat dry, than the other food items. The Kebab looked very intriguing, in an oven-baked clay dish covered with a layer of thin dough. However, this dish as well did not quite hit the right spot despite it's quite-alright taste.

Pricing was ok and all in all, the meal was quite pleasant, but I will probably not return as there are other Lebanese/ Middle Eastern restaurants in Singapore I would prefer over Al Hamra.
