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!

Restaurant in a trendy area of town.
The staff were well versed in the menu items & their ingredients. We ordered several of the small stares to share & the flavours were well defined. We were 4 people & also shared two of the mains.
Good wine list to accompany the food.
Ask for a quiet corner if you want to have conversation!

Food was delicious, the host/ maybe owner was really nice too. however the service at the table needs improvement. It's the second time we visit this restaurant & they forgot yet again to tell us that the kitchen was closed. They were also out of 3+ items on the brunch menu. When we addressed this with the manager, he had a condescending tone & pretty much questioned how we even got a reservation at 2;30 when the kitchen closes at 3. YOU made the reservation available & we placed our orders past 3:10 & nobody advised us that the kitchen was closing. A sincere apology would have been more constructive & well appreciated than an unproductive condescending response.
