THIS WAS MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR DINNER IN LISBON…read more============================================ I booked a reservation for our party of five for dinner at Sumaya on Monday, July 8, 2024 and I have to say I am a huge fan. If I ever visit Lisbon again I would definitely book a reservation there. Even my husband's cousin who has been a resident of Cascais for decades loved it and said she would go there again which is high praise. Not too shabby of a find from an L.A. East Yelper. We started off with a pitcher of their passion fruit sangria which was amazing. There was no wine in this sangria. It had vodka, rum, passion fruit and lots of other things. I am kicking myself for not ordering another pitcher of that. Definitely order that. We ordered the Sumay Grill to share which I also recommend. It has the best thinly sliced shawarma, lahme, kafta and shishtaouk. My daughter-in-law ordered some more chicken shishtaouk. Their garlic sauce was amazing. It reminded me of Zankou Chicken in L.A.. Their taboule was the best I have ever had in my life and I loved their baba ghanouj too. This was most likely my favorite meal of the nine days we were in Portugal.

We have eaten middle eastern style food before but weren't specifically familiar with Syrian food. The host was very accommodating and made some fantastic recommendations for small bites. The lamb dish was great, the hummus was delicious, but the real star was the falafel that we had. I've never quite had anything like it, even having had falafel several times. It was the perfect balance of moist on the inside and well-done light crust on the outside. I'd come back here just for that! don't forget the Syrian wine & Arak , red beer amazing the use IPAD as menu super Hi-tech :-) If you find yourself in the area you'd be well served to visit. This is exactly the sort of place I'd be frequenting often if we lived in Lisbon.

This cozy little spot is located in a cobbled alley and was fun to find using Google Maps. Upon…read morearrival, the hostess asks if you have a reservation - if you do you get to sit in the part of the restaurant that has more life to it; if not you sit in the front room which was much quieter and only had one other table of of 2 people. Both are nice spaces but being a solo traveler it was a bit depressing having to sit alone in a dimly lit empty dining room looking out a window while others were dining in the lively space with an open kitchen. I understand that's how it is when being a table of one but moral is to make a reservation if you can b/c that would have been a better dining experience. The menu offers so many choices and is very vegetarian friendly. The server was helpful and provided recommendations. One thing I thought was tricky was how he brought bread to the table and asked "would you like some fresh bread and dips?" before putting it down. Since I had read reviews I knew to asd "doesn't that cost extra?" to which he replied yes so I opted to skip it. Especially because I was alone and most def couldn't have eaten all that food. The falafel hummus bowl was excellent. The hummus was perfectly prepared and beautifully creamy. It was served with warm pita that you could taste was housemade. That was some of the best pita I ever tasted. I also chose a watermelon basil mocktail which was very tasty. I wish I had room for dessert but was stuffed by the time I walked back to my accommodation.

This little bistro has a tight menu full of inventive takes on Israeli cuisine. It's a small place, but very cute and the staff was super welcoming. They were also apologetic, because our table wasn't ready until half an hour or so after our reservation because of a lighting issue (we just headed to the nearby square for a couple drinks before, no big deal). The only service hiccup is that when we asked our waiter for recommendations, he talked up the grilled olives and the chicken, and then informed us they were out of both. Which was just kind of funny. Otherwise, they kept the food and the wine coming, and we had an excellent time. We ordered nearly the entire menu, and every dish stunning visually, and equally as tasty when we got down in there. It's hard to choose favorites, but the tuna crudo (layered with melon) was a perfect starter, the lamb kebabs were insanely flavorful, and I kept going back for the roasted eggplant with its addictive goat cheese sauce. The dips (muhammara FTW) are also not to be missed, and you should probably order extra fresh, fluffy pita to swipe through all the sauces. All in all, a wonderful meal.

I heard it's hard to get a table here so I was pleased to have been able to sit outside facing the praça. I settled on the calamari and it was the best thing ever!

A truly 10/10 memorable meal. I regretted not being more hungry because I would have loved to have sample more items. Dessert seemed to be popular too.
