How We Source Spices for the Grill

May 7, 2026 · 6 min read · Chef Ziad Richo

Spice is structure—not decoration

Lebanese grill flavour comes from layered marinades, not a dusting at the end. We toast and grind select spices in batches so marinades stay consistent service to service.

Suppliers we rely on

We work with importers who specialize in Eastern Mediterranean goods. When a shipment is delayed, we adjust the menu rather than substitute off-profile blends.

Marinade timing

Chicken and beef get different rest times. The kitchen clocks each batch so proteins hit the flame at peak flavour—not when convenience dictates.

Taste the difference on the mixed grill

Order a platter to compare kofta, tawook, and lamb in one sitting. It is the fastest intro to our spice program.
