Another addition to Coventry's cosmopolitan restaurant scene is aqua food & mood, the city's first restaurant to be dedicated to Lebanese cuisine.

Already proving a big success since opening in 2006, aqua food & mood provides Lebanese and Italian dishes in a sophisticated environment. The restaurant is unlicensed but diners are welcome to bring their own bottle of wine. However, the options of the famous smoothies and exotic drinks such as fresh mint, lime and ginger crush are irresistable.

With a full range of Lebanese dishes as well as starters, pizzas baked in wood-fire ovens, salads and pastas, the menu provides something for all tastes. The introduction of new seafood dishes, including lobster, now attracts diners from far out of town. If you fancy something from the Lebanese menu, try the laham bil bamia - lamb and okra cooked with onions, tomato and spices and served with lebanese rice and salad; or shish taok - grilled boneless chicken marinated in garlic, lemon juice and olive oil.

Or if you feel like something from Italy, the range of pizzas is fantastic, from the Fiorentina to the Diavola. The selection of salads is also impressive and, along with the pastas available, make up a wonderfully diverse choice for your meal.

Try one of the desserts to finish, such as the homemade banana con cioccolata - banana and crepes with chocolate and toffee sauce, baked in the woodfire oven.

A visit to the exotic garden is a must, with cover from the rain and heaters for the colder nights, where you can smoke the traditional Middle Eastern sheesha with a range of different fruit flavours to choose from. An overall unique and enjoyable experience.
