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!

Le chef fait des plats extraordinaires! Très Goûteux!
L'hôtesse n'est bilingue. Elle ne parle que l'anglais
La serveuse a été très bien mais clear adressé à nous en anglais en premier.
Retard de table malgré que nous étions à l'heure de 15-20 minutes.
On s'est fait bousculé de quitter après une 1h15 assis 3x. 2x par la serveuse & une fois avec le gérant.
On est à un brunch! On est généralement pas pressé...
Je ne retournerai pas s'il n'allonge pas le temps entre les réservations .
