The Mezze Philosophy

Shared Tables, Better Meals

The Lebanese approach to starters is fundamentally communal. Mezze is not a dish for one — it is a collection designed to be shared, passed, and returned to throughout the meal. Hummus is not a starter you finish before the main arrives. It stays on the table. The bread keeps coming. The tabbouleh gets refreshed. The meal builds rather than follows a linear sequence.

We have designed our starters menu around this philosophy. The portions are generous. The selection is broad. You can build a full meal from mezze alone, or use it as the opening act for grills and desserts. Either approach is correct. The Lebanese table has no rules — only hospitality.

Cold Mezze

Fresh-Made Daily

Hummus

The foundation. Smooth, warm, with a generous olive oil pool and a light dusting of paprika. Our hummus recipe has not changed since opening.

Moutabel

Charcoal-roasted aubergine blended with tahini, lemon, and garlic. The charcoal roasting process gives moutabel a complexity that the oven cannot replicate.

Fattoush

Toasted Arabic bread, seasonal vegetables, pomegranate molasses dressing, sumac. A fattoush that tastes like it was made this hour because it was.

Tabbouleh

Fine-cut parsley, tomato, minimal bulgur, olive oil, lemon. The Lebanese proportion of parsley-to-grain is not a style choice — it is the correct ratio.

Labneh

Strained yoghurt, olive oil, za'atar, olives. Served with fresh bread. One of the most honest things on the Lebanese table.

Mohamara

Roasted red pepper and walnut paste with a warm, nutty, slightly spiced finish. Excellent with fresh bread.

Cheese Plate, Olives, Makdous

The components of the table spread that make everything else feel complete.

Hot Mezze

From the Kitchen, Still Warm

Kibbeh

Ground lamb and bulgur shells, fried until crisp outside and tender inside. Filled with spiced meat and pine nuts. The most labour-intensive thing on our mezze menu.

Sojuk

Spiced cured sausage, pan-cooked with tomato and peppers. Bold flavour. Made to be eaten with fresh bread and nothing else.

Fried Cauliflower

Whole florets, fried until caramelised and crisp, dressed with tahini and lemon. This dish consistently surprises guests.

Cheese Rolls

Crisp phyllo pastry around melted, seasoned cheese. Hot from the kitchen. Order them immediately — they do not improve with time.

Falafel

Fresh-fried, crisp exterior, herb-green interior. With tahini and pickles.

Arayes

Arabic bread stuffed with spiced minced meat and grilled. A hot mezze that bridges the starter and grill menus.

The Full Table

Build Your Mezze Spread

The best approach to AMOO mezze is to order broadly and eat communally. Start with two or three cold mezze, add one or two hot items, order fresh bread with everything, and see where the table goes. If you are continuing to grills, the mezze will be waiting — it does not need to be finished before the next course arrives. Let the table be full.
