Arabian Restaurant Zenobia Hiroo
Tucked into a basement beneath a quiet Hiroo side street, Zenobia wraps guests in an exotic, dimly lit atmosphere accented with striped banquette seating, Arabic lanterns, and a camel mural — a slice of Damascus hidden in Tokyo. Run by a Syrian chef, the kitchen serves authentic Middle Eastern cuisine made with 100% halal meat and no pork. Signature dishes include hummus, falafel, Shushubarak (Syrian yogurt dumplings), roast chicken Kabsa, and cold Kunafah. Most items are also available for takeout.
