  • A word from the chef:

    At Yamal Alsham, my passion is to share the authentic flavours of Lebanese and Mediterranean cuisine with every guest who visits us. I believe great food begins with fresh ingredients, traditional spices, and time honoured cooking techniques that bring warmth and depth to every dish we serve. Whether you are joining us to enjoy our Mezze, Charcoal Grilled specialities, or a relaxed evening by the river, my goal is to create a memorable dining experience that reflects the true spirit of Middle Eastern hospitality. For Group Bookings & private celebrations, my team and I are delighted to prepare special authentic dishes and tailored menus, offering a truly personalised dining experience.
