When most people think of cauliflower, they imagine a basic side dish—mild, maybe a little forgettable. But at the best Middle Eastern restaurant, it takes on an entirely different character. Our fried cauliflower is golden, crispy, and full of bold, savoury flavour that earns it a well-deserved spot at the centre of the table.

From Side to Standout

This isn’t your average cauliflower. Ours is lightly battered, deep-fried until perfectly crisp, and seasoned with a hint of spice that makes every bite count. It’s the kind of dish that disappears fast once it hits the table, often surprising those who didn’t expect to love it.

Whether you're vegetarian or just in the mood for something new, our cauliflower is a flavour-packed choice that doesn’t play second fiddle to anything.

A Mezze Favourite

You’ll find it nestled among our hot mezze—right alongside dishes like Sambousik, Spinach Triangles, and Ladies Finger. The crispy texture and warmth of the cauliflower balances beautifully with creamy dips like Hummus or Baba Ghanouj, or with a squeeze of lemon for a bright, zesty finish.

It’s a dish that works well on its own but becomes even more memorable when part of a shared mezze spread.

Perfect for Plant-Based Plates

For those after vegetarian or vegan options, this one’s a go-to. It’s featured in our Vegan Mixed Plate and Vegan Banquet, served with crowd-pleasers like Pumpkin Kibbeh, Falafel, and Fattoush. Each element brings its own texture and flavour, and the cauliflower holds its own as a centrepiece.

It proves that plant-based dishes don’t have to compromise on richness or crunch—they just need the right recipe.

Great with Everything

One of the best things about our fried cauliflower is how versatile it is. Add it to a larger meal as a side, mix it into your mezze choices, or have it as a light starter with a cool dip. It’s also one of those dishes that appeals to everyone, whether they’re long-time lovers of Middle Eastern food or newcomers discovering its depth.

Elevating the Humble Vegetable

What makes it so special? It's simple: freshness, balance, and that perfect golden crunch. We don’t overcomplicate the dish—we just let good ingredients and solid technique shine. That’s what makes our cauliflower a small dish with a big following.

Summary,crispy, golden, and full of flavour, our fried cauliflower turns a humble vegetable into a standout dish. It’s proof that at the best Middle Eastern restaurant, even the simplest items on the menu get the love and attention they deserve.
