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!

Very good restaurant, the dishes are original & tasty! The service was also very good. Only downside: I had to give my credit card number to book which is unusual because we were only 2 people.

The food was great but they gave our table INSIDE to another group & we had to sit outside while it was very windy. I made reservation a week before. Disappointing
