Celebrate Christmas with a Lebanese Twist at Grilandia

Christmas is that time of year when families come together, share meals, and create memories that last forever. We all have our favourite traditions. Maybe it is the smell of a roasting turkey, the taste of a minced pie, or the fun of pulling a cracker. 

But what if you could experience all the magic of Christmas with a brand new, exciting flavour? 

At Grilandia, we are bringing the vibrant and generous spirit of Lebanon to your Christmas table. 

What Makes Grilandia Special This Christmas?

Our chefs at Grilandia are passionate about their craft, and our team genuinely cares about making your evening unforgettable.

This Christmas season, we have specially curated a festive menu that celebrates Lebanese traditions whilst honouring the spirit of the holidays. 

Whether you are bringing the whole family or enjoying an intimate dinner with someone special, Grilandia feels like the perfect place to celebrate.

The Grilandia Christmas Menu

Our Christmas offering features dishes that will make you fall in love with Lebanese cuisine if you haven't already, and keep you coming back for more if you have. 

We have put genuine thought into every course, making sure that each plate tells a story and delivers incredible flavour.

Starting with Meze: The Lebanese Way to Begin

This is where the magic begins at Grilandia, and it's where we set the tone for your entire evening.

You will find fresh Hummus, silky and smooth, made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil. Our Tabouleh brings finely chopped parsley, tomatoes, onions, mint and bulgur dressed with lemon and olive oil, while our Cranberry Ghanouj adds a festive touch with smokey roasted aubergine blended with tahini, garlic and lemon, finished with ruby cranberries and pomegranates.

You will also enjoy warm and comforting classics such as Kibbe and Batata Harra. For something perfectly crisp, our Walnut, Spinach & Feta Rolls offer a light, flaky bite that balances the table beautifully.

What makes our meze selection special at Christmas is that we have added some festive twists. We are talking about flavours that feel both luxurious and warming with every bite. 

The Heart of Christmas: Our Grilled Specialities

For the main event, we are offering a festive selection that reminds you why people love Lebanese cooking in the first place. Our Mixed Grill brings together marinated chicken shish, juicy lamb kafta and tender lamb tekka; each piece chargrilled to smoky perfection. We also offer a Grilled Ocean Trio, featuring chargrilled sea bass fillet, salmon fillets and king prawns seasoned with lemon and herbs.

If you prefer something aromatic and deeply warming, our Christmas Spiced Chicken Tagine is slow-cooked with festive spices, vegetables, and fragrant herbs. For a hearty vegetarian option, our Aubergine & Slay Musaka’a features baked aubergine boats filled with tomatoes, peppers, chickpeas and onions in a comforting tomato sauce.

Each main is served with a fragrant saffron and cinnamon rice pilaf with toasted vermicelli, adding a festive and aromatic touch to the plate.

Festive Specials and Seasonal Touches

We have also created some festive specials that blend traditional Lebanese cooking with Christmas cheer. At Grilandia, these dishes are worth trying during the festive season.

For something different, try our Cranberry Ghanouj, where smokey roasted aubergine is blended with tahini, garlic and lemon. Then it's finished with ruby cranberries and pomegranate for brightness and tartness.

Our festive menu has been curated to feel warm, generous and celebratory, with dishes that deliver depth without overpowering the senses.

Desserts to End on a Sweet Note

At Grilandia, we finish your meal with flavours that feel both celebratory and authentic. Our Baklava Pyramid features layers of filo pastry with nuts and syrup, shaped into a festive pyramid that's crispy on the outside and luxurious without being overly sweet. 

You can also enjoy our creamy Rice Pudding Cinnamon, flavoured with rose water and orange zest, or the Vanilla Ice Cream Basbosa, a semolina and coconut mini cake topped with Madagascar vanilla ice cream.

Each dessert brings a comforting sweetness to complete your festive meal.

Booking Your Grilandia Christmas Experience

Our Christmas decorations bring the spirit of the season to life by blending with Grilandia’s Secret Garden–like interiors. Soft lights, festive blooms, and elegant ornaments create a magical atmosphere, perfectly suited for the season.

Food tells stories. Every dish, every ingredient, every flavour has something to say about the people who created it and the land it comes from.

At Grilandia, we bring the true flavours of Lebanon straight to your plate. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the smell of fresh herbs, warm bread, and food being grilled over charcoal. This is what Lebanese food is all about, simple, fresh, and full of flavour.

What Makes Lebanese Cuisine So Special?

Lebanese cooking focuses on fresh ingredients and natural taste. Grilling is at the heart of Lebanese cuisine; Kababs, vegetables, or seafood. 

We follow the same tradition at Grilandia as well. We choose quality meat, fresh vegetables, and herbs that bring every dish to life. Our food is grilled over real charcoal, giving kebabs, vegetables, and seafood that unique smoky taste you can’t get anywhere else.

Here are some of our must-try dishes:

The Meze Experience

Meze is not just a starter; it is a big part of Lebanese culture. It is served in a selection of small dishes, like a table filled with small plates: creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanoj, crispy falafel, vine leaves stuffed with rice and herbs, and pastries filled with spinach or cheese. 

Sharing meze is a social experience, and it brings people together. 

The heart of Grilandia: The Grilling

We put a lot of care into preparing every dish. We select ingredients from trusted suppliers, we marinate our meats properly, and we grill everything with skill and patience.

Our expert chefs know exactly how to give each piece of meat a perfect char while keeping it soft and juicy inside. The grill is the centre of what we do. This is what we are famous for, to provide the Lebanese flavours.

A Taste of Our Kitchen

Step into Grilandia and be welcomed by the smell of warm bread and roasting meat, where our chefs turn recipes into art.

Star Dishes

At Grilandia, we have all the authentic Lebanese dishes, but talk about some of the stars of our menu.

Hummus: A real smooth and creamy, blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. It is a dream, especially when you scoop it up with a piece of fresh, warm pita bread. 

Falafel: Crispy outside, soft and green inside, made fresh daily with chickpeas and herbs. They are little flavour bombs that are completely vegan and utterly delicious.

Lamb & Meat: Marinated for hours in a blend of Lebanese spices, then slowly grilled. This process makes the meat incredibly tender and packed with flavour. It is then served in kebabs or slow-cooked dishes.

Salads: Our tabbouleh is a classic. It is not just a side dish; it is a refreshing masterpiece. We use a generous amount of flat-leaf parsley, mixed with fine bulgur wheat, mint, tomatoes, and a zesty lemon and olive oil dressing. It is the perfect example of how we use fresh ingredients to create something healthy and vibrant.

The Ingredients We Use

Authentic Lebanese food starts with fresh ingredients. 

The spices used at Grilandia are sourced from trusted suppliers. We are not using generic supermarket versions of cumin or coriander. We are using proper spices with real flavour and depth. It makes such a difference, and that is how we stay true to the classic flavours of Lebanon so you can enjoy Lebanese food.
