Down a mellow, unfrequented alley in District 1,
awaits one of Saigon’s only Middle-Eastern restaurants, Warda. Classically adorned in lavish blues and yellows, the ambiance instills instance relaxation. Whether you dine indoor or at the select outdoor tables, a plethora of throw pillows, soft bench seating and elaborate drapery provide the perfect sanctuary from the city’s bustle. As do Warda’s signature cocktails, infused with ingredients such as rose, saffron and date. To satisfy the slight hunger, share one of the mezza platters, which comprise assorted delicious dips (tabouleh, hummus, baba ganouj, olive oil and spices) as well as a delicate array of breads and crackers for dipping.
Mains include a first-class medley of meat and vegetarian dishes combining classic Middle-Eastern spices and herbs, to provide a subtle explosion of flavors on each plate. And polish off your dinner with a mouthwatering dessert. Amongst the must-try’s are the crumbly almond filled filo pastry and the warm chocolate fig pudding dashed with cardamom. Those too full from the delight of dinner, can enjoy a fruit-flavored shisha pipe on the dimly lit, outdoor terrace.
