Alsafa 财富阿拉伯餐厅

Unlike the real Al-Bawadi – a luxury tourism development in Dubai – this restaurant is located on top of a car wash in a humdrum part of Sanlitun. Still, its second-floor location provides guests with a view of the Liangma River and its simple decor provides a cozy setting for any nearby embassy staff who happen to be craving some Middle Eastern fare, including Beijing's cheapest falafel sandwich (RMB 20), kebabs (RMB 45), hummus, baba ganouj, falafel, fattoush and great lunch options.
