Clean-eating enthusiasts in Dubai just got a boost with the opening of a new Lebanese organic cafe. Hala offers organic products along with fresh healthy meals with their focus being on an authentic and wholesome dining experience.
The menu includes a mix of traditional and modern Levantine cuisine by way of home-made style offerings
“Hala is Levantine culture served on a plate of good-for-you, delicious food,” says cafe boss Ramy Sleiman. “The organic and healthy inspiration isn’t something new to Levantine cuisine, but rather forgotten. We’ve thoughtfully sourced all ingredients from across the Levant to create authentic dishes with the diverse flavours, tastes and cultures of the Middle East.”
Hala is one of the only places in Duabi that offers organic food from Levant. Besides clean food, the space includes modern pop culture artworks, a retail section for organic and home grown produce, homemade jams, olives, olive oil, top quality honey, Lebanese zaatar and other fresh herbs.
“Dubai is a melting pot of diverse cultures and nationalities while still being very much a blend of the Levant, and this representation was the vision for Hala,” says Antonio Gonzalez, chief executive of the Sunset Group, the hospitality group bringing the concept to the Emirate.
“We know there is a real appetite for healthy casual dining in Dubai and Hala encompasses all that is good for the body and soul.”
Open from 8am every day, Hala offers a variety of breakfast dishes, ranging from organic shakshuka to Hala’s variety of hummus fusions, with ingredients sourced from Lebanon to Jordan as well as local organic producers. Hala also dishes up a wider range of Lebanese and Levantine specialties.
Located in the World Trade Centre Dubai, Hala is available for home or office delivery, and can be found on all major tablet delivery services. Call 04 323 1063 or go to www.halaorganic.com
