Why it matters
Why Al Meshwar, Fujairah is worth your time
Lebanese mezze is one of the easier cuisines for vegetarians in the Gulf, because so many cold dishes are built from vegetables, pulses and bread. A restaurant that offers it gives Indian vegetarian families an option beyond the usual curry.
Two independent sources name Al Meshwar, which is why the guide includes it, but neither is a menu, so confirm what is served, and ask about vegetarian preparation before ordering anything.

How to experience it
Wikivoyage describes a ground-floor cafe serving regional staples such as shawarma and falafel, with Lebanese food upstairs. A travel blog mentions an appetizer plate, fattoush salad, baba ganoush and fresh pomegranate juice, which gives vegetarians something to build a meal from.
Fattoush and baba ganoush are usually meat-free dishes, but this guide cannot confirm how this kitchen prepares them, so ask about meat stock, and about whether dishes touch the same grill as meat. Vegetarians should not assume the menu is meat-free.
Bring a group and share a few mezze with bread, then add juice. The shisha section is popular with large groups, so request a table away from it if you prefer clean air.
Plan with confidence
