Mabruk - Mediterranean Restaurant

I recently had the pleasure of dining at mabruk Mediterranean restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out or a special occasion.

The menu offers a diverse selection of dishes, each thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. I highly recommend the Belgian chocolate ice cream—it was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor.

The service was outstanding; the staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made great recommendations and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

Overall, it exceeded my expectations in every way. I can't wait to return and try more of their amazing offerings. Highly recommended.

Very excited to share my experience in Maburuk Mediterranean Restaurant, This restaurant gave me a cozy feel and the ambience felt like wow. I am awestruck in its beauty. The food served here is topnotch and gave us the Royal treatment. Hospitality and service is beyond the mark. The rich flavours and their special baklava has my heart. Highly recommended to all who loves to have food in a palace like ambience with royal treatment.

Mabruk, Sahara Star.

The place has an amazing ambience with comfortable seating arrangements, palm trees and water body flowing besides the restaurant, they actually resemble an Oasis.

coming to the food we tried: -

💥 Falafel is deep fried balls made with chick peas and broad beans with tahina. The balls were perfectly golden fried and tasted amazing. It is Egyptian dish originated in Egypt but is famous through our Western Asia.

Dessert.

Baklava: - Baklava is rich dessert pastry made made of layers filo filled with pistachios and sweetened together with honey. The baklava was so delicious and tempting, a perfect end to your meal.

Overall, Mabruk is an amazing place to try some authentic middle eastern cuisine. The service is also quick and the person who was I’m charge of our table, Neeraj was also excellent.

Much recommended 😃👌

It's a very classy restaurant, quality food ,nice atmosphere, excellent service. Loved to be here .

Mabruk is a Lebanese restaurant in Sahara Star amd recommended for all if they have a liking for Lebanese food. It’s one of the old restaurants but the taste and originality is still that great and authentic. The hummus, pita bread and falafel here are great. In case you are a non vegetarian then the shish touk is a great choice. Sheesha is also very good quality and herbal. Staff is extremely attentive, polite and courteous. You can enjoy a good relaxing dinner here along with the beautiful View of the hotel and the water by the restaurant. Must for anyone who like to have good meal - a little bit high on budget though. Will require spending 2000 plus each person is what I believe but nevertheless enjoyable

I recently dined at a mabruk restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The food was outstanding, with a delightful blend of flavors that showcased the richness of Mediterranean cuisine. The ambiance was equally noteworthy, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that enhanced the overall dining experience. It's definitely a top choice for those seeking a culinary journey with exceptional taste and a charming setting.

It was our anniversary and we decided to dine with a slightly different cuisine as compared to the usual Indian, Chinese etc. We liked the ambiance, the service and oh the food was so so good. We had the hot and cold mezzo platter, the meat platter and some refreshing mocktails which left us feeling so satisfied at the end of the meal. We enjoyed our time spent there, the staff were so courteous and we relished ending our meal with the famous baklava. I highly recommend this place to all. Its amazing and so is the food 🍲

Nice ambience and authentic Lebanese Cuisine, must try.

I had the pleasure of visiting Mabruk last month with my colleagues, and it was an absolute blast! The food we had was incredible and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We indulged in the mouthwatering Lebanese cuisine that left us all in awe. The variety of flavors and dishes were simply outstanding. We even tried out their sheesha, which added an extra element of fun to our evening. The non-vegetarian options were a hit among my colleagues, and they couldn't stop raving about the delicious meat dishes. The zatar-infused dishes were a true delight, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to authenticity and originality. We couldn't resist ordering the batata harra, and it definitely lived up to its reputation. The mtabbal was creamy and packed with flavor, leaving us wanting more. The head chef's talent was evident in every bite, and we appreciated the culinary expertise that went into creating such fantastic dishes. To top it all off, we indulged in the heavenly umm ali, a dessert that was pure perfection. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, setting the perfect atmosphere for a memorable evening. The staff was friendly, attentive, and contributed to our overall enjoyment. It was an unforgettable experience filled with food, fun, and great company. Mabruk truly knows how to create a dining experience that leaves you with wonderful memories.

Very good hospitality and excellent food. They also serve the best sheesha in town .

If you have come to Mumbai, then you must have a meal at this restaurant. That food facility, staff behavior, parking facility is excellent.

Food and the service was top notch! Loved the service by Suraj. He was very helpful and kind to us 😊

In simple words, Mabruk means Congratulations.

An authentic Lebanese restaurant, Mabruk is located at the Oh so Legendary Sahara Star Hotel.

A flight of stairs take you to the beautiful restaurant. The waterfront view is one of the plus point of this place.

The Chef here, Mr. Jihad El-Shami, goes the extra mile to brief you about the dishes. Being from Lebanon himself, his passion and love for Lebanese food is clearly put across on the table. According to him, the best way to eat Lebanese food is to get all the dishes at once on the table and then start eating.

Lebanese food always has a never ending flow of Pita Bread and Pickles. I had the Zaatar Pita here, which is absolutely to die for. Zaatar is an Arabic Spice mixture sprinkled on the pita while cooking.

Cold Mezze Platter

Hummus - Classic traditional hummus. Not too strong, but just the right flavor

Moutabal - Roasted eggplant which is mixed with tahina and garlic. One of tbe best Moutabals i have had.

Mou'hamara - Made of walnuts and red peppers, Mou'hamara is something that you will like only if you have acquired the taste for it. A little different than the one I tried at other places, but the taste really stood out for me.

Fattoush - Classic Middle Eastern Salad, this had fresh tomatoes,onions,radish and bell peppers along with fried Pita bread. Brings freshness to the plate and the palatte.

Baba Ghanouj - A different varoety of egg plant dish, this has roasted egg plants too but mixed with mint and bell peppers.

Labneh - My all time favorite dip, this is just hung curd mixed with garlic and minimal spices.

Hot Mezze Platter

Falafel - Classic Falafel Tikki, made with chickpeas and deep fried. Goes best with the labneh dip.

Sambousek Jibne - Sambousek is like a Middle Eastern Samosa. It's stuffed with feta cheese and thyme and deep fried. Something that I tried for the first time and enjoyed the flavor.

Sambousek Laham - The nonveg version is stuffed with minced lamb and pinenuts. The lamb inside was beautifully cooked and the flavor really came through.

Kibbeh - Made of minced meat, broken wheat and Middle Eastern spices, kibbehs are deep fried to give it that crispy texture.

Manakeesh - It's basically a flat bread but Lebanese style. It's usually topped with either cheese, zaatar or meat but here, keeping in mind the Indian audience, the Chef has modified it and added some veggies to it.

Batata Hara - My favorite of the lot, fried potatoes tossed in garlic and chillies, tastes best with zaatar pita.

Mahancha - M'hanncha is basically stuffed filo pastry and is originally from Morocco. They have the veg and nonveg versions in this too.

M'hanncha Laham is filled wirh minced meat.
M'hanncha B'Khodar is filled with vegetables.

Both of them are flavored with Ras El Hanout which is a spice mixture of North Africa and used in abundance in Moroccan cuisine.

Dessert :

Kunafeh - There are 2types of Kunafeh, one is made with thin pastry and the other with semolina dough. Both have cheese layered on them. The kunafeh served here is made of semolina dough. The texture was perfect, sweetness was perfectly balanced. Must try.

Baklava - Classic filo pastry filled with pistachios and drizzled with sugar syrup. Perfect crisp taste. Love it.

A well deserved appreciation to the staff and hospitality here. Prompt service, happy faces, what more could you ask for.

If you are in the mood for Authentic Lebanese food, you have to visit Mabruk.

The spectacular ambience which is breathtaking and the live music with delicious food! A perfect dinner date setup and also a good time with family and friends..
The places serves sheesha and the fragrance is super powerful

We had a beautiful seating just by the water. The staff is extremely courteous and the service is quick.

We started off with :

1) LEMON MAA WARDA
This is an extremely refreshing drink. The appearance is in a margarita style glass. Lemon juice with strong punch of mint, little sugary and salty. Very nice!

2) KOSHAF
This is a mango puree style drink. Thick mango pulp with the tanginess and sweetness which goes well with the cold Mezze Platter

3) COLD MEZZE PLATTER
This consisted of fresh hummus(made with chickpeas), fattoush (thick yoghurt based paste with spices sprinkled, was a bit too sour for my liking), moutabbel (made with eggplant and topped with some pomegranates), muhammara (walnut based thick crumbly paste)

4) HOT MEZZE PLATTER
B Jibneh Manakeesh is a mini pizza style made of flatbread topped with cheese and Zatar spices and veggies,
Safiha b Jibneh is the best one which is a stuffed with mozzarella cheese and topped with zatar spices. There was Falafel which is the best I've had till date, Crunchy and crumbly.

Soft and fresh pita breads served along!

5) BAKLAVA
This is phyllo pastry sheets stuffed with roasted pistachios and sprinkled with the same powder and dunked in sugar syrup. The best!

6) BELGIAN CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM AND BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM
I personally loved the belgian one as it was very very smooth and chocolaty. The blueberry one was tangy and different than the regular sugary ones.

Definitely worth experiencing this amazing place 👍🏻

Mesmerising experience is what this place offers you ♥

Amazing work by the chef and the staff.
We were recommended food and chef attended us with providing all the info about the food and speciality.

I say this place as authentic Lebanese restaurant serving amazing veg and nveg food Equally good.

I was amazed by the mezze platter.
Dips including Humus and the pickle was alluring including the cheese samosa and falafel so good .
I loved the aura of the place ,the lights around.

A place perfect for a dinner date.! This was one of the finest dinning experience that I ever had.!

We went to Mabruk for a dinner.! Resturant setup is so amazing and it is so perfect, I just kept looking at all the elements and the fabulous view of sahara star.! Their seating arrangement close to the artificial pond and a tiny waterfall is definitely worth the experience. I could here the sound of waterfall in background along with the great sufi music from live singer.!

More about Ambience, as soon as you enter the Mabruk section you will definitely get a feel of Arabic or middle eastern region with those sheesha decors and the sofa designs.! Seating was really very comfortable and those near the artificial pond is exceptional.! They do serve herbal sheesha as well which is definitely a plus point.

Staff and Service,I just cant express in words how excellent service and staff is at this place. Mr. Ajit was looking after over table. He was such a kind and polite person.! His communication with that constant smile on his face and detailed explanation about the dishes that we couldn't figure out, was really impressive.! Service was flawless and amazing.! Couldn't ask for more because everything was perfect according to me.!

Food & Beverages, indulge into the unique and delicious and very wide range of optios from Mediterranean cuisine. Thier food menu is really very authentic one like their head chef who actually belongs to middle east.! Some of the beverages which you wouldn't find anywhere else and are part of Middle Eastern culture are served here and belive me they were super refreshing and recharging.!

Things that we tried and found absolutely authentic and very delicious in taste are listed below:

Starting with the best one, Meshwi bahry a grilled sea food platter which includes lobster, king prawns and hammour & calamari fish.! Perfect in taste and fragrances. Everything was with perfect marination and grilled perfectly.! Highly recommended for all sea food lovers.!

Kafta meshwi - soft and juicy lamb kebabs served along with some raw spicy salad.! It was perfectly cooked as we could easily chew it, taste wise it was upto the mark.!

Shish taouk - to all my chicken lover friends this is something one should not miss.! Balanced taste of garlic and cream marination. Chicken was so soft so juicy, couldn't resist.! Perfectly grilled chicken, one should not miss at Mabruk.!

Mouhamara with Zatar - this is best dish to begin with under vegetarian options in Mediterranean cuisine.! Mouhamara was perfectly blended and tasted upto the mark. Real chunks of walnut made it more attractive. Breads were so fresh and with that sesame olive oil topping it was icing on the cake.!

Falafel Roll - one more amazing option straight from Egypt is definitely worth a try for all vegetarian friends.! Crispy golden fried balls stuffed in a fresh bread with some herbs, dips and tossed veggies. Presentation was good and taste was fabulous.!

Do not forget to try the special mocktails or I would say Mediterranean beverages at this place. They are super refreshing and really good in taste. We had lemon maa ward and koshaf, Koshaf was with mango pulp and nuts. It was thick and heavy too.! Taste wise way above the normal mocktails.! Must give it a try.!

To summarize Mabruk is one of the finest option available in Mumbai for Mediterranean cuisine. Being part of Sahara star it is super luxurious and maintains a very high quality standard in all aspects. We really had a great time dining at this place along with sheesha being icing on the cake. This place is definitely one of the best for dinner dates.!

Great Hospitality, Lovely Ambience
An authentic Lebanese food. Complete menu. Mouth watering tasty food.

I just can't get enough of all the Sahara Star restaurants.
Love all of them.

I visited Mabruk the Mediterranean restaurant last week and it's my new favorite already.

Hands down one of the best Mediterranean restaurant in the city. The Chef did a wonderful job and complete Justice with all the dishes.

The ambiance is cozy, warm, calm with slow instrumental music and flowing water.

We started off with a mezze platter which included hummus, babaganoush, labneh, tabbouleh and shankalish the feta tomato dip. Everything was so good. Loved it all. This was served with super soft pita or khaboos, marinated olives, tahina and harissa dip. My husband was in food coma. The hummus and shankalish the feta dip were out favourite.

The appetizer platter was equally amazing. Perfect falafels, safiha, batata harra, sambousek and mahancha.
The falafels were crisp, moist and delicious.
The Safiha were mini pies stuffed with zaatar and halloumi. Say no more.. just gobble them up. So delicious.
Spicy, Tangy batata harra, feta cheese stuffed samosa and the vegetables stuffed phyllo pastry were delicious too.

For mains we tried the tagine and the vermicelli rice. The tagine was a stew made with chickpeas, prunes, almonds and vegetables. It was delicious.

Ended this amazing meal with a baklava. So so good.

A place perfect for a date, special occasions or just to pamper your loved one.
