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!

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!

Nice decor & ambiance. No wait time to be seated. Waiters were attentive (both at taking our order & also taking our plates away). Maybe felt a bit too rushed to clean our table. Food was tasty but portions were very small & not worth the price. We were left hungry & went down the street for dessert. I don't think I would return. Overall ok experience.

Terrace seating was very nice for brunch. Everything we ordered was amazing except for the shakshoka which was average. The pancakes are a must try!
