Sayyad Mediterranean Cuisine

The specialty here is Mediterranean-style grilled seafood, offered in a weekday lunch buffet, but the real action at Sayyad is in the evenings, when grilled fish and seafood kebabs can take center stage. The seafood specialties here include singari fish casserole, in which a whole fish is split, butterflied and marinated, then topped with an enormous mixture of vegetables, herbs, peppers and lemon juice and baked in an oven. At some times, though not any times we visited, customers can choose their whole fish on ice and have it prepared in a number of styles, served with fragrantly spiced rice pilaf.
