Enjoy the exquisiteMiddle Eastern food in Indianapolis….!

Middle Eastern food has a reach cultural history of over three thousand years. Some people love to try different cuisines, it actually quite fun. One of the most coveted cuisines you must try is Middle Eastern food, particularly Egyptian food.  Thanks to the globalization we don’t have to actually travel to Middle East to try their food, many restaurants offer authentic Middle Eastern food in Indianapolis.

One of the primary reasons why people love Middle Eastern food is its shear diversity. It offers many alternatives for vegans and non-vegetarians as well. Since the most dominant religion in Middle East is Islam, all the restaurants offer only halal food in Indianapolis. Alcohol and pork being non halal are not served with Middle Eastern Food. So if you are looking forward to having a glass of crisp wine with your lunch you won’t get any unless of course you are dining at a Greek restaurant in Indianapolis. 

Vegetables

Middle Eastern food is a paradise for vegans. Vegetarian dishes include Veggie kabobs, appetizers like Baba Ghanauj, hummus and meatless soups and stews give vegetarians a range of options. Onions, tomatoes, olives, chick peas, green vegetables and many citrus fruits form the vegan menu in most of the restaurants. Rice and bread are served with both lunch and dinner.

Mulukhiya is a soup is the specialty of Egypt which forms the part of many Middle Eastern lunch buffets in Indianapolis. It is prepared using leaves of jute and corchorus plants it looks like spinach soup. Although traditionally it is cooked in chicken broth its vegan variant is equally popular. Salads also form central part of Middle Eastern cuisine.

Sweets

Middle Eastern lunch buffets in Indianapolis may or may not have sweets since traditionally sweets are consumed during festivities. However many restaurants offer sweet dishes as special order. Some of the famous sweets are Kunafeh, Baklava, Basbousa and Qatayef. Most of the sweets are made of dairy products like chees or milk. Honey is the primary sweetener with sugar used as substitute.If you really have a sweet tooth, visit a restaurant during the festival of Ramadan.

Meat delights

Goat meat, chicken and lamb are the main type of meat used in cooking. Most of the dishes are cooked with rice like Chicken Palau or cooked as stews and served with flatpita bread. If you are a meat lover then you can order a classic chicken platter or kebab platter for lunch delivery in Indianapolis.

Cooking Middle Eastern Food

Many restaurants offer free food delivery in Indianapolis.However I personally like to enjoy the typical royal ambience of a Middle Eastern restaurant. Some of us do love to cook new dishes, the good news is Middle Eastern recipes are easy to cook. Grilling, frying, grinding, and stewing are the most common ways of preparing meats. You don’t need a degree from a cooking school to cook foods like tabouleh or kebabs.
