Naser Bucharest
Heavenly Arabian food
Do you know those shabby places with amazingly delicious food prepared or owned by natives?
Well, Naser is one of them! Two Syrian brothers own the restaurant and the place in itself isn't really the nicest looking restaurant. When you come in you might think you've entered a butcher shop, because they also sell all these Arabic meat products, but once you move on to the second room you'll find yourself in the actual restaurant.
Naser is my favourite Arabic restaurant in town because everything on the menu is delicious and fresh. The mutton and beef kebab is a must try, you have four shish (skewers) lined up on a flat bread and surrounded by grilled vegetables. This comes together with Middle Eastern pickles and if you also have an Ayran to go with the meal, then this is just heaven on a plate.
At the end of the meal, you might even get a baklava on the house.
So, if you are in the mood for Middle-Eastern delicious food, but you don't mind the atmosphere and design of the place, Naser is a must try.
