A Journey Through Taste
What truly sets Somewhere apart is its unique menu concept which celebrates both tradition and innovation in equal measure. The Middle Eastern-fusion-centric menu delivers a collection of curated dishes influenced by the region’s traditional flavours, rich heritage and culinary diversity with a contemporary twist. The menu is based on sharing and begins with small plates, a stand-out dish is the Eggplant Moussaka. A Middle Eastern take on a classic comfort dish, the subtle smokiness of the eggplant pairs beautifully with the tangy yoghurt and crunch of pine nuts, a great introduction to the meal. The hummus is of course a must-try especially the one topped with Black Angus beef.
Another standout dish on the menu is the Shrimp Kunafa, In a surprising twist, Somewhere elevates the classic kunafa by pairing it with shrimp. The Shrimp Kunafa features Japanese-style shrimp rolled in crunchy kunafa, offering a delicious contrast between the rich, sweet pastry and the savoury shrimp. It’s an unexpected pairing that showcases the restaurant’s ability to innovate while maintaining authentic flavours.
To balance the richness of the starters and mains, Somewhere offers a selection of vibrant, fresh salads that are perfect as a light bite or an accompaniment to your main course. These are generous and great for sharing.
The Lime Corn Salad is a burst of freshness with hot charred corn, tangy green olives, and creamy feta cheese, all served on a bed of mixed greens. The zesty lime adds a refreshing citrus kick that complements the sweet corn and the briny olives, creating a salad that is both light and satisfying.
Something that really stood out was the fatteh dishes. Fatteh is a kind of a meal in one Middle Eastern dish made of layers of crispy pita, chickpeas, and garlic-infused yoghurt. Commonly served for breakfast or as a warm starter, the range of fatteh dishes here was really unique. The chicken jalapeño fatteh featured layers of chicken with crispy potato cubes, topped with
yoghurt, jalapeño, salt & vinegar chips.
For a taste of authentic sweetness, the Somewhere Baklava is a must-try. Made with fresh filo pastry, this dessert is generously filled with pistachios and drizzled with syrup. Each bite is an indulgent combination of crispy, buttery pastry and the nutty richness of pistachios, making it the ultimate comfort dessert.
For a contemporary twist on a traditional dessert, the French Coffee Baklava offers a unique fusion of Middle Eastern and French flavours. Rich, nutty flavours complemented by smooth coffee ice cream make this a perfect treat for coffee lovers.
And for a luxurious end to your meal, the Kunafa Croissant is a must. Imagine a warm croissant filled with cheese & kunafa, topped with sugar syrup. Delicious.
