Surrendering enchanting views of the Arabian Gulf, join family and friends in placing yourself in luxurious, marble interiors or at the pretty, palm-tree covered, outdoor seating area as Olea invites you to sample a vast spread for The Sumptuous Iftar dining experience.
From sunset to 11pm, allow your palate to traverse the globe with live cooking stations serving up traditional Arabic and Mediterranean dishes as you enjoy the sounds of live entertainment from the oud player.
Begin your culinary journey by delving into a selection of appetising starters such as cold and hot mezze like fresh salad, crunchy fattoush, kibbeh, falafel and fried halloumi brought to your table by attentive waiting staff.
After polishing off your opening course, explore the plethora of live cooking stations where fabulous surprises await. Tuck into freshly baked saj breads that are topped with cheese, za’atar or kishk, alongside succulent grilled meats before casting your eyes on supreme offerings including grilled prawns, chicken shawarma, lamb botti and carved prime ribeye beef, accompanied by scrumptious steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes and creamy risotta.
If you prefer the tastes of the Middle East, select regional favourites such as chicken mussakhan, hummus fattah, ouzi and meat and vegetarian tagines. Gastronomes of regional cuisine will also be treated to a dish that will engage all the senses with the traditional tandoo-pit roasted lamb, prepared on the outdoor terrace, offering up an explosion of flavour thanks to a special homemade recipe.
Epicures of Indian fare will also have the opportunity to savour sub-continental specialties such as murg makhana and prawn curry with carnivores being served up a scrumptious foot-long karziya kebab that are all accompanied by vine leaves and cherry sauce.
But remember to save room for a delicious dessert to round off the evening with an assortment of live stations that aim to delight with indulgent offerings such as Arabic ice cream, perfect ashta with honey and pistachio, a mega chocolate fountain and charcoal baked baklava just some of the sweet treats to enjoy.
