With his heart and soul, Agabi Mediterranean Restaurant owner Essam Farag works diligently and quietly, transferring the art of cooking in his soul to his delicious dishes. With over 20 years of experience in cooking. Essam uses his background of French cuisine and knowledge of Middle Eastern cooking to prepare each meal to perfection. Essam prepares an eclectic menu selection of Greek, Lebanese and Egyptian cuisine right in front of your very eyes in an open concept kitchen. Whether it's lunch, dinner or take-out, Agabi offers a fresh and healthy alternative to enjoying a meal out. The secret to Essam's healthy chicken is Agabi's slow roasting, vertical broiler that melts away all the fat in chicken, leaving it at the I bottom of the broiler and not in your food. The result is a healthier | chicken - mix it with fresh herbs and vegetables and you have a deli cious and healthy meal. A must try is Agabi's best-selling Chicken Shawarma. The thin sliced chicken is slowly roasted and then lightly grilled. But Agabi offers more than just chicken. Essam is always hard at work devising new menu items his clients will love. Most recently added to the menu are his Frito Misto De Mari (a mixture of fried seafood) and Braised Lamb Shank. "I try to use the method of French cuisine to enhance Mediterranean food. I am always working on expanding the menu to offer the best to my customers," he says. "We make everything from scratch, from A to Z. But we try to keep the menu small, so it will always be fresh." If it's vegetarian you're after. Agabi caters to those seeking vege tarian dishes. For a more exotic choice, try the Vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves: California Grape leaves stuffed with a mixture of rice, greens and fresh herbs served hot or cold with Traziki sauce. Agabi also offers a variety of seafood items, and has a great selec tion of Mediterranean wine. Agabi means love in the old Egyptian language, and it certainly holds true for Essam's savory cuisine. The menu items are reasonably priced, making it affordable for both lunch and dinner gatherings, as well as take-out. The restaurant is also available for special functions. Agabi is located on I34 Lakeshore Rd., (with free parking!). Call 905-3381888. D eef I . C tv » c k e n · . 2 0 8 5 Winsron Park Dr. 905 829.23591 Located In the Oakville Enrenolnmenr Cennum/AMC 24.
