Skewers of meat cooking over glowing charcoal

Levantine charcoal grill · Al Wasl

From the grill

Slow fire, simple food.

Our kitchen keeps it honest: good cuts, fresh herbs, bread from the oven and charcoal that is lit before the first guest arrives. Dishes come to the table as they are ready, the way they are meant to be shared.
