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!

Fantastic & classy restaurant!! The menu items were quite diverse & creative. We found out there is an eclectic mix of Lebanese, Armenian, & Italian here but you could sense the sophisticated modern twist as well. Portions were large for a fancy restaurant. Lovely cocktails as well. Restaurant is perfectly situated for a meal before going to the Belle Center or just enjoying a nice part of downtown. We were visiting from Portland, Oregon

Food was great. Server was also amazing. However the overall experience & prices were anything but great. Restaurant had a weird stench. Food was way too overpriced for how small the servings were. & so many flies inside the restaurant, despite it being cold.
