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!

J'ai réservé pour mon anniversaire dans notre restaurant préféré. Les plats étaient incroyables comme d'habitude. Mais le serveur Ethan, qui a pas été un serveur incroyable (ne demande pas qui goûte le vin, sert directement l'homme, sert les verres de vins jusqu'au bord, ne sait pas expliquer les plats juste sur ce qui est noté sur la carte...). & au moment de payer, il voit sur la note que nous lui avons laisser 5 cad de pourboire & il n'a pas accepté & nous a obligé à mettre 40 dollars de pourboire ? On lui a demandé pourquoi on a essayé de discuter & il ne répondait pas mais restait à côté pour nous mettre la pression. Je suis à Montréal depuis 1 an je n'ai jamais vu ça & cela nous a gâché le moment. Il a pensé que nous étions des touristes & en a profité pour nous mettre la pression en nous obligeant.
