AALIA

Retailer page hero image

Aalia is a complete immersion in the flavours, aromas and food culture of the Middle East and North Africa, with a focus on its lesser-known regions and coastlines.

The menu draws on forgotten ingredients and recipes uncovered in the pages of tenth-century Arabic cookbooks, reinterpreted through modern technique. Each dish represents a particular region or era, so a meal moves across centuries and borders as it unfolds. Begin with raw dishes and mezze, then move through mains and sides.

 

The cocktail list follows the spice trade, from caravans crossing the desert dunes to the city glass in your hand today. The wine list pours from Syria, Jordan, Turkey and Morocco, together with Australian producers including South Australia’s Petaluma and Bellwether and Western Australia’s Dormilona.

 

Discard your assumptions at the door. This is a journey across a thousand years and every coastline in between.
