Food has an amazing bonding factor with family and friends, especially when sharing a meal over new and innovative dishes.
While fasting from dawn to dusk during the Holy Month of Ramadan, as the sun sets Iftar is shared with loved ones to break the fast together.
With so many delicious dishes, from traditional to international, available to add to the daily spread, one dish that has caught the imagination is this unique take on a classic dessert.
Allo Beirut, along with Deliveroo, have launched an innovative Vimto Kunafa.
The traditional Middle Eastern dish Kunafa is made out of spun pastry, sugar syrup and cheese.
Adding a unique spin is the use of Vimto, a grape, raspberry and blackcurrant syrup that is diluted to make drinks, and is another staple in an Iftar spread.
When curiosity strikes, Connector tries.
The kunafa was really flavourful, with the cheese, having the right kind of satisfying pull and stretch. What stood out was the taste of Vimto added into the kunafa itself.
As a substitute for the sugar syrup typical poured over, Vimto syrup is added, and the flavours merged beautifully, making us keep going back in for more sweet, delicious bites.
Vimto Kunafa is definitely a great dish for anyone who is a fan of kunafa, likes Vimto, has a sweet tooth and that is looking for a dessert that is intriguing and different.
The dish is priced at Dhs 32 and available from Allo Beirut via Deliveroo.
