What defines it

Levantine food is the cooking of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, with the wider Arabian Gulf sharing much of its pantry. It is built on a handful of intense seasonings, tahini, sumac, za'atar, pomegranate molasses and Aleppo pepper, applied to grains, pulses, vegetables and grilled meat. The mezze table, many small dishes eaten together, is its signature.

Sour from sumac and pomegranate rather than vinegar; sesame everywhere, as tahini and in za'atar; olive oil as the fat; grilled and charred vegetables and meat; abundant vegetarian dishes; bread with every meal.

Hummus is the most widely eaten dish of the cuisine and also the truest test of an ingredient: it is only as good as the tahini that goes into it. The same applies to the rest of the pantry, where a single pure product, pomegranate juice reduced, sumac berries ground, wild thyme blended, carries the dish.

For India, the Levant is a natural next step: the flavours are already loved through kebabs and shawarma, vegetarian cooking is central to the cuisine, and the products keep well. Our sourcing focuses on producers who make these staples the traditional way.

The Levant: Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, with Aleppo as the historic centre of its spice trade, and the Arabian Gulf sharing the pantry.
