I ordered when I treated my friends for my birthday (we were 14 in all):
1. Mezze Forte - to quote the menu, it is “Eight exotic mezzes served in a beautiful winding metal staircase. Includes Hilbeh, Muhammara, Hummus, Mutabbal, Mahrousa, Taramasalata, Qeema, Dukkah and five pieces of Khobiz”. I ordered extra khobiz. This is a good appetizer as it is very interestingly presented in the winding staircase and have a lot of dips to choose from. (P650)
2. United Colors of Curry - composed of 8 kinds of curry - lamb in milk curry, beef in red curry, chicken in yellow curry, duck in brown curry, fish in black curry, prawns in orange curry, ox tripe in green curry and mixed vegetable curry. This was delicious and fun to eat and compare to each other. The servings could be bigger though. (P2100)
3. Large platter of mixed kebab specials (2 orders) - mixture of beef, chicken and vegetable kebabs. This was really really tasty and delicious although again, the serving could be bigger. (P795 per order)
4. Harem Rice Feast (2 orders) - 8 kinds of rice served in their signature octet server. The 8 kinds of rice include Jordanian rice, arabian chickpea rice, iraqi saffron rice, afghan rice, iranian
rice, etc. Some rice tasted really delicious while others were kinda weird but it was a great experience nonetheless. Here, the portions were big and there were lots of leftovers afterwards (P650 each)
5. Pasta Arrabiata - classic arrabiata with a mediterranean taste. It was good, but nothing remarkable. (P200)
6. Chicken Tutmaj - Turkish egg noodles with yogurt sauce. This tasted kind of weird to me and I only tasted a bit of it. (P150)
7. Baklava - not a big fan, but it was okay. (P90)
8. Dessert Trio - Milhallabiya (Egyptian), Shir Berenj (Persian), Kulfi (Arabian). These desserts mostly tasted weird and not too appealing. We only tasted a few bites each. (P250)
There are also different kinds of drinks and most people ordered the mango lassi (not bad but I’ve had better), and Ziggurat iced tea which tasted really great. There also offer shisha.
I didnt’ order the other more unusual main dishes for fear that my guests would not like them so I stuck with the curries and kebabs which turned out to be a good decision. However, looking back, I should have ordered less rice and more meats.
Ziggurat is definitely a good place to go if you want a unique and total dining experience.
