According to Rami Akhras, director of operations at Meat Moot, the restaurant distinguishes itself with a blend of Texas-style barbecue and Turkish influences, offering a unique dining experience for smoked-meat enthusiasts. "The menu features seven cuts of smoked beef and lamb meats, including beef brisket, lamb shoulder, lamb shanks, beef and lamb ribs," he shares with New Times.
Each cut at Meat Moot undergoes a signature housemade marinade before spending a minimum of 16 hours in the smoker, ensuring a flavorful and fall-off-the-bone tender outcome.

The feast kicks off the moment guests step inside, where cleaver-wielding hosts or hostesses take charge at the counter. With theatrical flair, they chop, season, and prepare orders right before the diners' eyes, adding salt, honey, and a medley of spices and sauces to each meat. Once the meat is ready, it's brought straight to the guest's table.
While the focus is undeniably on the meat, each order at Meat Moot comes with a spread of salads, sauces, and rice, providing a royal banquet experience that blends traditional butcher shop methods with modern cooking techniques. The pricing is per half a pound of meat with unlimited salad and rice refills.
