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!

We were there for dinner before a show. Everything was fabulous. Friendly staff, amazing food & drinks. I'm still talking about the Shish Barak. Will definitely visit when I'm Montreal. A gem.

My favourite Middle Eastern restaurant in Montreal by far. I give it a solid 10 without any hesitation. The staff & ambiance are second to none. The attention I got on my last visit is identical to the first one.

Go there. You will be IMPRESSED
