Dara Dining by Sara Aqel Wins Prestigious 50 Best MENA Restaurants Lavazza Award
A trailblazer in the culinary world, Chef Sara Aqel along with the Dara founders Lana Alamat and Maher Mouasher, Dara Dining [https://dara.jo/pages/dara-dining] was conceived as a space where food and drink come together in a seamless, elevated experience. The restaurant introduces a bold yet refined approach by integrating a thoughtfully curated beverage shop within its dining space, where every bottle can be served at the same price at home or in the restaurant, an unprecedented concept in the region. This innovative approach allows guests to explore and enjoy their exceptional selection by bottle while experiencing a menu that masterfully pairs flavors and shattering a business model that make fine wine and food expensive and out of reach.
Dara Dining's food menu showcases Chef Aqel's signature style-an inventive take on Mediterranean and Levantine flavors, using high-quality ingredients in collaboration with local artisans and farmers. The restaurant has quickly gained acclaim for its impeccable service, striking ambiance, and a commitment to offering an immersive dining journey. The ambiance reflects the authenticity that Amman offers, set in a renovated old villa in the heart of the city, surrounded by Zahran Park, creating an inviting and culturally rich dining experience. Dara's beverage menu also sets itself apart by offering a collection of directly sourced, exceptional, and carefully curated beverages, making it the best restaurant wine list in the region. This dedication to quality, local ingredients and seasonality enhances the restaurant's reputation as a leading force in the Middle Eastern culinary scene.
The restaurant's concept challenges traditional norms by offering a setting where guests can not only indulge in an exquisite dining experience but also complement the meal with their choice of beverage by the bottle at a fraction of what it normally costs. This pioneering model reflects a growing shift in the region's appreciation for global culinary trends, positioning Dara Dining as a beacon of change and sophistication.
"At Dara Dining [https://dara.jo/pages/dara-dining], our mission is to create a warm, welcoming space where people can gather to celebrate food, wine, and the art of dining," said Sara Aqel, the celebrated chef behind the restaurant. "Winning the 50 Best MENA Restaurants Lavazza Award is a testament to our team's passion for culinary excellence and our commitment to reshaping the dining culture in the Middle East."
