Namoura: The Syrup-Soaked Cake That Feels Like Home
Price range: $20.00 through $60.00
Lebanese Namoura (نمورة)—also known as Basbousa or Harissa in other Middle Eastern cultures—is a syrup-soaked semolina cake that’s rich, fragrant, and utterly addictive. It’s one of Lebanon’s most iconic desserts, often served during holidays, family gatherings, or alongside a cup of Arabic coffee.
Description
Namoura is delicious because it strikes a perfect balance between texture and flavor. The semolina gives it a tender, slightly chewy bite, while the yogurt and butter create a rich, moist crumb. The floral syrup seeps into every crevice, making each piece sweet but not cloying. The tahini base adds a subtle nuttiness, and the toasted almond garnish gives a satisfying crunch. It’s nostalgic, comforting, and elegant all at once—a dessert that tastes like celebration and home.
