Sharkia - Viseu de Jos

Tasty food, attentive staff, quick service, good portions size

Located inside the Radisson hotel, Sharkia offers a menu of “Eastern Mediterranean” food in a casual bar setting—but let’s just get one thing straight: the best thing about this restaurant is their freshly baked pita bread! It actually came in two formats: a flatbread and a sliced loaf, but they were made using the same dough and came for free at every table. The bread was soft, chewy, and perfect for eating with the mezze dishes. My pick was the hummus with lamb, in which the creamy chickpea dip was topped with a flavorful mixture of ground lamb, pine nuts, parsley, and chili flakes. The ground meat mixture added an unctuous flavor to the already decadent hummus, and the plating of this dish was beautiful too. I also ordered the falafel with tahini dip, but the fritters were rather greasy and less than memorable. Finally, I had the Sharkia Kebab, which were ground beef/lamb kebabs in a tomato and onion sauce, baked in a pot covered with pita dough, which baked up into a chewy, edible lid. The kebabs and the tomato sauce were both tasty, but again, the best part was simply the bread!

Our favourite meal in Bucharest so far, highly recommend. Lucian provided a great service, he was very polite.

Amazing Lebanese restaurant in Bucharest! The mezzes, lentil soup and meat was delicious and authentically Lebanese. Highly recommend this restaurant!
