What is with these middle-eastern themes that seems to draw us in? Is it their exoticness or their spices that so closely resembles our own background? Well, there can be more than one reasons but whatever they may be, we are not complaining. We simply adore the Lebanese culture and often finds comfort in its delicious spicy cuisine. Many restaurants have come forward to dabble in the Lebanese cuisine and have found a growing fan-base amongst the Indian diners. ‘Zizo’ is the prime example of popular chain of restaurants that has discovered the untapped market of this wonderful cuisine.
