Food & Alcohol Pairings to Try at a Middle Eastern Restaurant

1. Appetizers & Sauvignon Blanc

Middle eastern restaurants offer an opportunity to fill your table with appetizers and share with your whole group. You can enjoy delicious hummus, dolmeh, and falafel. A chilled white wine is the perfect pairing for when you’re snacking, particularly in the summer. You can sip on a refreshing sauvignon blanc as you sample these shareable plates.

2. Kabobs & IPAs

restaurantGrilled meats are a staple of middle eastern cuisines, so a kabob is a must-have at any restaurant. The herbal and hoppy notes of an IPA balances out the richness of the meats, creating a more pleasant eating experience. A cold beer can cool your mouth when enjoying a kabob with spicy seasoning. If you aren’t keen on IPAs, more mild ales can also be a tasty choice and offer a similar effect.

3. Stews & Pinot Noir

Middle eastern stews are the ultimate comfort food experience. Enjoy the heartiness of a khorosht bademjoon or ghormeh sabzi stew with a glass of pinot noir. The cherry notes in the wine will offer just enough balance, while enhancing the warmth of the stew. This combination can be particularly pleasant in the winter.
