What to order

Lebanese food is made for sharing, so most tables start with mezze and move on to the grill.

  • Cold mezze: hommous, baba ghanoush, labneh, vine leaves, fattoush and tabbouleh, all served with warm bread.
  • Hot mezze: lamb kibbe, falafel, halloumi, arayes (grilled bread filled with spiced lamb), sujuk and makanek sausages, and chicken livers.
  • From the charcoal grill: shish taouk (marinated chicken), lahem meshwi (lamb), kafta, lamb chops, and the mixed meshwi if you want a bit of everything. Mains come with salad and a choice of rice, couscous or chips.
  • Shawarma and wraps: chicken shawarma as a main or a wrap, plus lamb and chicken doner.
  • Dessert: knafeh, baklawa and sahlab, or waffles and milkshakes for the children.

Can’t decide? The mixed mezze for two, followed by a mixed meshwi, is a good first visit. See the full menu.

Middle Eastern food for the whole table

The menu also has plenty for guests who don’t eat meat: vegetarian meshwi, falafel and halloumi burgers, and most of the cold mezze. Sea bass and salmon are on the grill too.

Alcohol

We do not sell alcohol. Nana’s is BYOB, so you may see some tables with a bottle they brought themselves.

Families, groups and celebrations

Birthdays, Eid meals and family get-togethers are what the dining room and the lounge are made for. Call ahead with your numbers and we will set up the table. The Nana’s Special Set Menu takes care of ordering for big groups.

After dinner, stay on in the shisha lounge. On Friday and Saturday nights a belly dancer performs from 8:30pm.
