What is your favorite Arabic Food?

Thanks Alliecat for your reply. But in all honesty, it is my first to heared this food "babaganush". What is this food all about and what are the ingredients basically.

For me, my all time fav is the Lamb Chops and Spareribs... Tastes really good.

Phool-Tameez or Phool Dal

I love this dish too. It goes well with Kubbus.
We call it Hommoos or Salad here. Never heard the real name before.
I was told that it is Lebanese food, but it's a Levantine dish.

Best part is this is 100% vegetarian.

You are right, this is a Pakistani / Afghani / Indian food. But I've never eaten it like this anywhere in India.

Actually, I had that for dinner last night.

@Dave  Baba ganoush and hummus aren't the same thing.  Order them both at the same time and you're sure to see the difference!  The Turkish place on Talenteen Street has the best baba ganoush in the WORLD!

Ohh I'm not sure what I've eaten then. It looked similar to the picture.

Babaganoush and hummus are definitely not the same.  Hummus has chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are the primary ingredient.

I like shawarma too, specially in Mama Noura Restaurant...

They have good burgers at the 4 Seasons.  Pricey but WESTERN beef, thick, juicy patty ... ummmm, I'm making myself hungry!

How does one eat a burger without spilling it on self ?

@Alliecat

I have been fan of Al Saraya for a while but then something went wrong in their foods. Be it Shawerma or Kababs. I don't know how they did it!!
