If you’re fortunate enough to have experienced a meal in the Middle East, you know all about their warmth, ambiance and extravagance. Whether it’s on a terrace accompanied by an afternoon tea, or sipping Arak in the evening, the “joie de vivre” can’t be missed.

Having successfully recreated the magic, our chef Joe Awad and his team have put together a menu featuring traditional flavours reimagined with a modern flare.

Our friendly and attentive staff will make you feel as though you’ve walked through the fabric of time to the other side of the world. Prepare your tastebuds, they’re in for an amazing experience!

I want to really like this place but it's so overrated! Especially brunch. I requested to replace the waffles in the chicken & waffles plate with eggs. I get 1 egg separately from the plate of chicken, obviously no waffles. When I get the bill, that 1 egg cost me 8$. So my brunch cost 78 $ with tax for my meal & 2 mimosas. Unbelievable!!!! Will never have brunch here again.

The food & cocktails were great, but the waiter's constant presence didn't allow us to enjoy our conversation.

Beautiful & elegant place, perfect for a date night. The food was good & nicely presented, & the overall vibe is upscale & enjoyable.

Portions are quite small & prices (food & drinks) feel a bit high, so it's more about the experience than a full meal. Overall, a great spot for a fancy night out!

La bouffe est délicieuse, menu végétarien assez large, c'est pour cette raison que j'y suis allée & je suis sincèrement impressionnée. Idem pour le service, Rachel est on top of her game🖤

The food was sooo good & very tasty the rice was so full of flavor every bite was so pleasant!
The only down part is how we ordered chicken brochette'S' plural as written in the menu & only received the equivalent of 1 stick which is misleading...
other than that, everything was very delicious the chicken was nicely charred, the atmosphere was beautiful with dim lighting. & I really appreciate how the music was not loud & the place felt very sophisticated.
I will definitely come back thank you!
