Al Hamra

The Al Hamra Restaurant is named after the Al Hamra Palace in Granada, Southern Spain. The name Al Hamra originates from an Arabic word ' Hamra ' which translates to the color red. The walls and towers had an iron hue which led the magnificent structure to be know as the ' Red Castle '. This was built in the 9th Century by the Moors and the old fortress was restored by the founder of the dynasty, Mohammed Al Ahmar. Known for it's charm beauty and architectural splendor, the Al Hamra Palace still stands today as a bridge of civilization between the East and West. We, at the Al Hamra Restaurant aim to reach out to the West by shortening the divide with the introduction of our traditional authentic food, to tempt the taste buds to raise the spirit.
