CLARK FREEPORT -- Huma Island Resort & Spa opened its first Lebanese inspired restaurant inside SM City Clark with the new dinning destination offering authentic Lebanese cuisine and hospitality.
The company opened Al Fairuz, the first of several branches in Luzon, recently. Huma Island Resort & Spa is the operator of the famed Maldivian-inspired hideaway in Busuanga, Palawan of the same name.
Dr. Hamad Al Tuwalj and his wife Louisa Al Shaer decided to invest and open a Lebanese restaurant in the Philippines with the vision of having simple, fresh and natural dishes.
“We went around different locations and on my visit to Clark, Pampanga, I saw so many beautiful people living in the city. So I said, the first Al Fairuz restaurant belongs to Clark“ Dr. Hamad said.
Al Fairuz Restaurant features authentic Lebanese cuisine known as “cuisine of nature,” and is considered “one of the freshest and most delicious food on the planet.”
"An age-old tradition of warm hospitality is what Lebanese culture is best known for Lebanese families will never believe you don't have just a bit more room for something so delicious that's been prepared with much love," Hamad added, stressing that the restaurant features all these.
The restaurant's name is derived from one of the most widely admired and deeply respected living singers in the Arab world.
Fairuz is known for her very distinct vocal timbre and her song lyrics expressing romantic love and nostalgia for village life. She became symbolic to the country as most of her songs also offer nationalistic sentiment that followed Lebanon's independence.
Al Fairuz Restaurant is also opening branches at other SM Malls namely, SM Dasmarinas, SM Manila, SM BF Paranaque City, SM Cebu, and MOA Conrad Hotel Manila.
Al Fairuz Lebanese Cuisine is located at the Ground Floor of SM City Clark Freeport.
It is owned by Hume Island Resort & Spa and United International Hotels Group, a Kuwait based company.
