Zekrayat Al Sham: Home of Authentic Levantine Flavor in the UAE The Zekrayat Al Sham restaurant and bakery is a prominent and beloved destination in the United Arab Emirates, offering its patrons an authentic dining experience that reflects the generosity and hospitality of the ancient Syrian and Levantine (Shami) cuisine. The restaurant began its journey in the UAE in 2003, and since then, it has become synonymous with quality, homemade flavor, and fresh baked goods. Zekrayat Al Sham's menu is characterized by its diversity, with a special focus on baked goods that are considered the beating heart of the restaurant. It is famous for serving freshly baked Manakish, in its traditional varieties like Zaatar, Akkawi and Kashkaval cheese, in addition to Sfeeha (meat pies) and the Levantine Lahm Ba'ajin (flatbread with meat). Alongside the baked goods, Shawarma is one of the main dishes mastered by the restaurant, whether it is lamb (often Naimi) or chicken shawarma, served as wraps or as the "Arabic Shawarma" dish, sliced and served with fries and garlic cream, in addition to the famous Mariya with Cheese dish. The experience is completed by offering classic Levantine appetizers such such as Hummus, Muttabal, and stuffed Grape Leaves, as well as fresh salads like Tabbouleh and Fattoush, ensuring it meets the desires of customers looking for a quick breakfast, a hearty lunch, or a traditional dinner in the authentic Levantine style.
