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.

Everything was amazing about this restaurant. From the service & friendly staff to the incredible brunch food. We ordered & shared the shishtaouk chicken & waffles as well as the baklava pancakes. The chicken was so moist, delicious & not greasy at all. The waffles were light & fluffy. The baklava pancakes were amazing also light & fluffy & that topping was super delicious. Fresh orange juice & mimosa rounded out our brunch. This is now one of my two favourite brunch places in the city. They have a lot of staff & they seamlessly work like a well oiled machine. Food is fast to come out even with a full dining room. & they never make you feel rushed. Also seating is done well so you never feel like you are squished in. We were very impressed & highly recommend this place. Make sure to have a reservation as they unfortunately had to decline walk ins.
