Why it matters
Why Kibba Wa Tabbola is worth your time
Levantine cooking is a good match for Indian family tastes: bread, dips, salads and grills are easy to share. Kibba Wa Tabbola is a neighbourhood option for it, away from hotel prices.
It matters because it is one of the few non-resort restaurants that a tourism-board guide names. Its name refers to kibbeh and tabouleh, the dishes it is evidently built around, and the mezze format helps mixed groups. For older travellers, a plain plate of bread, dips and salad is an easy way to eat well without a long resort evening.

How to experience it
Visit Ras Al Khaimah lists Kibba Wa Tabbola at 3C Street, Al Dhait South, as a Lebanese and Syrian restaurant serving mezze platters, grilled meats, kibbeh and tabouleh. The same site names it again in its summer restaurant list.
A shared table works best: start with mezze and tabouleh, then add kibbeh or grilled dishes for those who eat meat. Kibbeh is traditionally made with meat, so vegetarians should skip it and ask which mezze are meat-free.
As we saw only the tourism board's description, check the current menu, prices and hours before travelling, and ask how salads and dips are prepared if you follow a strict diet. It carries no diet tag.
