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!

This was our second visit, but certainly won't be our last.
The service was excellent- friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, but not overbearing. The fresh & interesting flavours are first class. We especially love the Fattoush salad, the lamb shawarma & the eggplant dish. We have not sampled the desserts as we are too full from the mains. Brought along friends who loved their meal. Can't wait for a return visit.
