Chargrilled Farooj .scarbrough 🔥🤤
Anyone that grew up in the UAE knows that an evening with a plate of smoky yet tender charcoal grilled chicken with khubz, crispy fries and garlic sauce CAN'T BE BEAT!
So I've made it my mission to eat my way through the farooj offerings here in Scarbs. Thanks to glowing reccs from and we ordered from Farooj Abo Alabed over the weekend and were not disappointed.
The fries were crispy and really nicely seasoned, the chicken was beautifully cooked (although it definitely could've been more flavourful) and the Fattoush was very fresh.
It's the sauces and sides however that make this spot stand out for me. Served with a lovely and well rounded pink sauce, a smoky and mildly punchy spicy sauce, and a classic garlic sauce, every bite of chicken can be dipped and customized to perfection. The small tubs of old-school Lebanese pickles really sold it for me, and balanced out the whole meal very well.
Overall, I'm a fan!
Final Rating: 8.4/10 💐
