Deerah is a Lebanese restaurant at 107 Royal Avenue in central Belfast. Its broad menu covers mezze, charcoal grills, wraps and complete main courses, giving diners the option of sharing several small dishes or choosing a single substantial meal.
Cold mezze and hot starters introduce the flavours of the kitchen, with dishes such as hummus, lamb kibbeh and batata hara. Lebanese bread is a natural accompaniment, helping a table combine dips, salads and freshly cooked plates before moving on to the grill.
Charcoal cooked lamb meshwi, shish taouk and kafta meshwi are among the main attractions. Chicken and mixed shawarma, grilled skewers and wraps provide more casual alternatives, while basmati rice, chips, salad and sauces allow diners to round out each plate.
The menu also includes burgers, children’s choices, desserts and drinks. Guests can eat at the restaurant or place an order for collection, making Deerah suitable for a relaxed Lebanese meal as well as a quick lunch or dinner in the city centre.
