Al Nafoorah serves traditional Lebanese food with the usual Arabic Mezze (hommous, tabouleh, labneh, stuffed vine leaves, kebabs), as entrees, and kebab, grilled lamb, mixed grilled seafood and chicken grill for the main course.

The quality of food is excellent. We opted for hommous, tabouleh, labneh and vine leaves as a starter, followed by grilled chicken kebabs.
The presentation was excellent for a delivery, nothing spilled or squashed. However, the main course was cold.

The mezze was very tasty and nicely prepared. If the temperature of the main course had been correct, the entire meal would have been excellent.

Al Nafoorah is definitely as good an option for Lebanese cuisine as you can get, but they do need to gauge temperature better.
