Syriana Restaurant is a Syrian and Lebanese dining room at 1 Constitution Hill, close to Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. Middle Eastern decor and a broad menu create a setting for family dinners, group meals and diners who want to share several dishes across the table.
Cold and hot mezze introduce the cuisine through hummus, aubergine, yoghurt, salads, pastries and grilled ingredients. Ordering a selection makes it possible to combine creamy, smoky, crisp and fresh flavours before moving on to the restaurant’s larger charcoal cooked dishes.
Mixed grill, shish taouk, kofta and lamb skewers are served with rice, while freekeh, vegetable stews and whole sea bass show other sides of the kitchen. Vegetarian mains include moussaka, stuffed vegetables, okra in tomato and garlic, and vegetable kawaj.
Dine in, takeaway, collection and delivery are all available. The menu uses sesame, nuts, dairy, gluten, fish and shellfish in many preparations, so guests with allergies should speak to staff before ordering and should not rely only on a dish’s short description.
