Zabeeb with Mountain Mint

A vibrant blend of sweet black grape juice (Zabeeb), infused with sparkling water, mountain-dried mint, and topped with crushed ice and a fresh grape. This mocktail delivers a refreshing twist that’s both earthy and effervescent — the perfect balance between tradition and modern indulgence.

Flavours

A beloved Iraqi classic, Dolma is a comforting medley of vine leaves, eggplant, onions, and cabbage leaves—generously stuffed with a fragrant blend of spiced rice, herbs, and minced meat. Slow-cooked in a tangy tomato broth, each bite tells a story of home, heritage, and hospitality.
