Bar Azita is the place to be if you want to enjoy Mediterranean tapas and cocktails in a beautiful setting. The a la carte menu begins with cold tapas. You can choose from the ancient Persian dip of chicken, garlic, potato, egg and mayonnaise, tzatziki, koukia and smoked cod-roe taramasalata. Other cold tapas dishes include Spanish manzanilla olives, red peppers stuffed with feta and ricotta, and plenty more dips. To mix things up, order some hot tapas, too. The halloumi comes grilled or fried with sweet chilli sauce, and fried aubergine slices are drizzled with sugar cane syrup. Other options include the Cretan cheese pies frizzled with honey, padron peppers, and Mediterranean mushrooms.
You can enjoy salads as a tapas portion or for your main, and the choices begin with the miveh salad, with skewers of fresh pineapple, banana, kiwi, strawberry and orange, on rocket and drizzled with honey, and chicken or halloumi as the main component. There are classic salad pairings of greens paired with mozzarella and olive oil, and Greek salad, along with mushroom specials and Spanish coleslaw.
Most of the mains also come in tapas or full size options, so you can choose to order a pick and mix of several dishes, or commit to your main fully. Seafood includes clams cooked in white wine and cream and served with garlic grilled pita bread, along with grilled sea bass marinated in lemon juice. The meat options range from lamb cutlets with couscous to pastourma sausage and chicken shishlik that has been marinated in yoghurt.
At lunch, you can enjoy a special where you choose the tapas rapido of three cold tapas with a pitta, three hot, or a gyro of grilled Greek pita bread with salad and a filling. Dessert is churros and chocolate or baklava.
