Restaurant Ksara

Named after the Bekaa Valley winery that has been running since 1857, Ksara is the Schwabing room for a sit-down Lebanese dinner — tabbouleh sharp with parsley and lemon, hummus and labneh worked properly, kibbeh nayyeh on request, marinated lamb skewers from the charcoal grill, warm pita coming to the table on a rolling basis. The interior is more atmospheric than Cedar Lounge's — dark wood, cushions, low light — and the wine list leans Lebanese as you would hope. A few minutes' walk from Münchner Freiheit, which puts it inside the Schwabing dinner radius rather than out at Arabellapark.
