January 2016 99 www.bahrainthismonth.com finedining The innovative menu of this glamorous Japanese restaurant receives reinforcements, much to the delight of vegetarian diners. A pioneer in contemporary Japanese cuisine, Maki restaurant has always sought to promote healthy habits. Though its culinary repertoir includes dishes with ingredients such as brown rice, wild thyme, extra virgin olive oil and arugula, Maki has always tried to go one step beyond. One of its latest healthful offerings is centred on vegetarian dishes with the introduction of Akagome nasu teppanyaki and Akagome tofu teppanyaki. “Introducing some vegetarian dishes to our valued guests was an important undertaking that we set upon a while back. We just needed to enhance it. The challenge was to come up with vegetarian dishes that were both tasty and exciting,” explains Amer Zeitoun, co-founder and managing partner, who is an agricultural expert. The Akagome nasu teppanyaki boasts eggplant, which is cooked to perfection, served with exotic red rice, fresh asparagus, green chili, truffles, carrots, bok choy, spinach, pine nuts, coriander, portobello mushrooms with black truffle oil, extra virgin olive oil and sweet miso sauce — offering a profusion of powerful flavours. It has quickly become a favourite, not only with vegetarian guests, but with regulars as well. The same applies to the Akagome tofu teppanyaki, which has added another great choice to an existing wide array of vegetarian dishes. Whether a vegetarian or not, book your table at Maki Bahrain, and enjoy these choices and many more. Call 17 522-733 or 36 999-102. MAKI Veggie Good Akagome nasu teppanyaki
