Gaia
If there’s one thing the Greek and Middle Eastern cultures agree on, it’s that food is best when shared. GAIA gets this right with a menu built for gathering, simple, generous, and full of flavour. For Eid, they’re rolling out seasonal specials, like baked feta with chilli and tomato, warm Grecian-style bread loaded with kasseri cheese and grilled mushrooms, and slow-cooked lamb neck fricassee. Then there’s dessert: a mix of pistachio baklava, chocolate halva, and GAIA’s signature truffles, because no celebration ends without something sweet. And if you visit on the first day of Eid? They’ll send you off with a box of stuffed dates, filled with salted nuts and dusted in sugar, a small but thoughtful nod to tradition.
