More information on Sands

Almost hidden in the undergrowth off busy Queen's Road lies this Lebanese restaurant. The charming courtyard garden leads to a cave-like dining area, overflowing with Arabian atmosphere - especially every last Thursday of the month, which is Arabian night, complete with belly dancers on the tables! The menu offers traditional Lebanese specials including mezzes - Lebanese pizza, felafel, tabouleh etc. - plus main courses. The set menus are a good choice for groups, but a word of warning - just as you think you can't possibly fit another mezze in, the enormous main course will arrive and you'll struggle to finish it! House wine starts at £8.50 a bottle and those on a budget may like to try the set lunches here - just £6.95-8.95 for two courses. Round off your meal with a leisurely puff on their Shisha pipes - a mix of tobacco, fruit and water - which have to be tried for the full exotic experience.
