Alaz is bringing Egyptian food to Chiswick. Located on Chiswick High Road, the concept has been created by Egyptian TV network owner Alaa El Kahky and caterer Sabrina Tolba. So, if you’re after a taste of authentic Arabic cuisine, here’s what you need to know.
Alaz pays homage to Alaa and Sabrina’s family cuisine, and describes itself as bringing the soul of Egypt to London. Sabrina hails from a family of restaurateurs, and brings the tradition of cooking to the new venue.
Alaz’s bright pink exterior makes it easy to spot. Indoors, it boasts shades of blue and brown, from blue walls and plates to wooden furniture. Look out for Arabic touches in the paintings and tiles.
The menu is superb for sharing, and includes small as well as large plates. The menu spans mezze, soups, salads, grilled and meat dishes. The soups include Chicken and Mushroom Soup, Lessan Asfour, and Egyptian Lentil Soup. The mezze includes Katayef Cheef, Sambousek Beef, and Vegetable Spring Rolls.
Grilled dishes include Grilled Kofta, Shish Kebab, and Shish Tawouk. Meat dishes include Beef Breaded Escalope, Chicken Piccata, Kofta Dawoud Basha, and Kofta Roz. Desserts include Basbousa Plain, Egyptian Rice Pudding, and Katayef.
The drinks are also inspired by the Arab world. The menu includes Balah Belaban, which is dates with milk; Karkadeh, which is hibiscus juice; and Qamar El Din, which is apricot juice. Plus, if you want to the taste of Alaz at home, it also offers catering services for small and large gatherings, and delivery services.
