Very similar as these photos. By the ways, fifth photo is not broad bean at all! It's called Loubee :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275332052457337468.post-33977598244086129472011-02-27T17:48:38.673+11:002011-02-27T17:48:38.673+11:00I should follow up my previous post by saying: Abl...I should follow up my previous post by saying: Abla certainly does have a broad bean dish on the menu (foulia medammas), but it's not part of the banquet. The bean dish served as part of the banquet is loubyeh, as I said, and the sauce is a tangy tomato sauce, not a tahini and garlic one. The dish shown in your photo is definitely loubyeh.Bonnienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275332052457337468.post-12325478368508715532011-02-27T17:41:58.664+11:002011-02-27T17:41:58.664+11:00Food Lover, I have to correct your description of ...Food Lover, I have to correct your description of one dish. What you call "broad beans" (fifth photo from the top) aren't broad beans. The proper name of this dish is loubyeh, and it's probably made using French beans - the ordinary long, thin, kind of green bean that most people think of when they hear the word "beans".<br /><br />Broad beans, as their name suggests, are fat, squarish beans. Type "broad beans" into Google images and you'll see what I mean.<br /><br />Incidentally, I love Abla's loubyeh, and I think lukewarm is the perfect temperature for it. But then I love all Abla's food. I don't eat there all that often, as the prices are beyond my budget, but I go there for special occasions.Bonnienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275332052457337468.post-23354566632210017492010-10-16T11:41:14.666+11:002010-10-16T11:41:14.666+11:00the food looks great, its always a good sign if yo...the food looks great, its always a good sign if you have to make a booking in a place, usually that means the place is good.
