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!

Really enjoyed dinner on the patio. The food & service were terrific. We ordered the babaghanouj & , mouhamara dips, fatoush salad, sumac fries, falafel & baharat fried chicken. I would definitely add this restaurant to a regular rotation. Note that the baharat chicken is breaded & fried so personally for the healthy aspect, I would order something else next time. Also had the dry white Riesling wine which was great!

Très bon service & ambiance intéressante. Salade fattouche un peu décevante pour le prix, mais humus-shawarma & morue charbonnière sont vraiment savoureux. Je recommande chaudement cet endroit!
