About

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!

Peu importe les plats que nous commandons, nous sommes toujours impressionnés avec la présentation, le goût, le service. Tout est toujours impeccable!
C'est le restaurant que nous préférons dans le quartier car on sait que l'on ne sera jamais déçu

The food was delicious as was the service. The only complaint is the small portions of food. $36 for 3 cubes of chicken is exorbitant. As well we couldn't switch fries for the potatoes. Unfortunately we probably will not return despite the good food.
