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!

It was raining & we sat on the terrasse that was covered & it was leaking al over the place so tables had to keep moving. It had puddles on it from a previous downpour. Other than that it was a great evening all around

We went out for dinner after many people recommended this place. The food was good but nothing special. It was a cool concept & the drinks were very good & the fried shish taouk was really good.

Service with Harold was incredible. Food was amazing. We especially loved the chicken breast main course. Fatouch salad was excellent. We also had the hummus schwarma with warm pita.

The food was really good. The place is cute, could use a little more music for ambiance & dime the lights. The service was a little slow at times but we were having so much fun it didn"t matter at this point. The waitresses were so nice so it all made up for it. The filet mignon is 55$ but oh mama it's really good. Enjoy to who ever goes there.

Food was great but service was terrible. We sat on the terrace & the servers preferred to sit behind the bar talking the entire night. We had to ask numerous times for our drinks to be refilled & we asked 3 times before we got the bill!! It was crazy!
