Zikrayet Lebanese Restaurant and Lounge, Alexandria

Zikrayet Lebanese Restaurant & Lounge isn't just a restaurant. It's a tiny slice of Lebanese life, distilled down into a dining room, covered patio, and lounge. Guests dine on Lebanese favorites such as succulent lamb laced onto kabobs, pitas dunked into pine-nut-studded hummus, and flaky slices of baklava. As the evening turns to night, the lights lower and the entertainment begins. Belly dancers recreate the sensual scenes and moves of their homeland as they weave through the crowd to the hum of live bands. Afterwards, DJs spin popular music while crowds swap out plates for flavorful fruit hookahs. Parties go late into the night, or until hookahs finish working their full eight-hour shift.
