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!

Cuisine originale pour un brunch. Toutefois ambiance trop bruyante pour discussion. Après 1h30 de repas on nous demande de quitter puisqu'il y a un deuxième service ceci m'a beaucoup déçu

2nd time going in 2 weeks & just made my 3rd reservation for end of November. Safe to say I'm obsessed. Every time I go I order something a little different but then also order the staple must haves like the Brussel sprouts & the hummus dips.
