Alcazar’s menu offers a wealth of classic dishes and some new takes on Mediterranean staples, accentuating the healthy yet robust fare of the region. Mezzas include vegetarian favorites like hummus, which comes in many variations, mutabbal, tabulleh, stuffed grape leaves and falafel, as well as several shellfish and meat delicacies. In addition to the signature kabab plates, the sumptuous main entries comprise rare specialties such as Lebanese stews, imported fresh Mediterranean sea bass, shawermas, frog legs and quail.

Alcazar complements its hearty dishes with a full bar that includes renowned Lebanese araks and beer, a comprehensive selection of California and imported wines, and other spirits. With its graceful Middle Eastern furnishings and a relaxed, spacious environment, the ambience at Alcazar is as romantic as it is suited for family dining and large banquets. One of the restaurant’s chief attractions is its covered patio area, nestled in a pleasant garden setting.
