Located in Al Bateen, Zali Restaurant blends Lebanese flavors with a Bali-inspired ambiance, offering a fresh perspective on Middle Eastern dishes.
Lebanese Comfort Food with a Modern Twist
Zali started its culinary journey three years ago in Bali, where it quickly became a beloved destination for its authentic Lebanese dishes enriched with modern, creative elements. At the helm is Chef Liza Maalouf, a celebrated figure in the culinary world whose belief that “food is a language of love” shines through in every dish. From mezze plates to hearty mains, each offering at Zali tells a story that marries nostalgia with the excitement of fresh flavors.
The menu reflects a deep-rooted love for Lebanese food while embracing a contemporary flair. Classic mezze dishes are infused with Mediterranean spices, and Armenian influences bring an added dimension to Levantine staples, creating a multi-layered dining experience that appeals to a variety of tastes. Signature Lebanese-inspired bowls are crafted with health-conscious diners in mind, featuring vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options that highlight traditional Lebanese tastes in a modern, approachable way.
