About Azar
Mezze-style sharing plates are at the heart of the menu. The cocktail programme uses Middle Eastern botanicals to great effect. Furthermore, it draws a cosmopolitan crowd and fills up fast on weekends. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming.
What to Order at Azar
Order mezze to share: hummus with warm pita, fattoush salad, grilled halloumi, and chicken shawarma. For example, the slow-braised lamb shoulder is exceptional for a larger main. The grilled sea bass with chermoula is a lighter but equally satisfying option.
Tips for Your Visit
Book for weekend dinners — it fills quickly. The restaurant is on the main Palm Beach strip. However, it is easy walking distance from most hotels in Palm Beach. Arrive hungry, as portions are generous.
