Omali: A sweet greeting from the Orient

Have you ever wondered what happens when the warmth of the Orient meets the coolness of the Swiss Alps? The result is a cultural and culinary masterpiece. Today I would like to introduce you to Omali, a dessert that plays an extraordinary role in our SimSim restaurant.
Omali translates as “Ali’s mother” – the name alone is enough to pique your curiosity. This traditional Middle Eastern dish has a history as rich as its taste. We serve it hot, which makes it a favorite with our guests, especially during the colder months.
The base of Omali is a light and fluffy croissant served in a traditional clay pot. But that’s just the beginning. This delicious base is refined with a careful selection of pine nuts and pistachios, which not only provide a crunchy contrast, but also add a nutty depth to the dessert.
In our kitchen, we take great care to ensure that every bite is a journey to the Orient. Preparing omali is a ritual that requires respect and dedication, because every detail counts.
Omali is more than a dessert. It is an invitation to sit back and enjoy the rich flavors and warm hospitality of the Middle East, right in the middle of Switzerland’s urban landscape. With every spoonful of this delicious dish, you’ll feel the love and history that went into its preparation. During these warm months, we recommend ordering Omali with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – a perfect complement that makes the experience even more irresistible.
We invite you to discover this unique taste experience with us at SimSim, where oriental cuisine meets urban Swiss flair. Let Omali enchant you and take a piece of oriental culture with you on your journey.
