In this regard, the resort is pleased to announce the completion of its culinary offerings with the launch of its new Levant-style restaurant, Tuh’u – totaling up to five restaurants and one private interactive kitchen and dining room.

Located alfresco on the sand under atmospherically-lit palm trees and the night’s sky, serving Levant cuisine, Tuh’u is inspired by the the resort’s Turkish influence and Owner, Esin Gural Argat. The name derives from one of the world’s oldest Levant recipes which dates all the way back to 3000BC – which remains today, a popular beetroot-based dish in modern Western Asia.

At Tuh’u, you will be guaranteed an explosion of authentic flavors that will transport your taste buds to JOALI’s rich cultural influences with the Levant. The menu highlights include many traditional dishes such as cucumber and zucchini salad with raisons, walnut, yoghurt and bulgur wheat; cumin lemon chicken with a lentil and wild black rice mix and herb salad; a selection of gourmet Persian kebabs; Syrian slow-cooked leg of lamb with plum sauce and fresh mint; and papaya, pear and passion fruit compote with cardamom.
