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!

Fantastic brunch! Everything looked good on the menu, a star meant chef's recommendations, plus our server Sabrina pointed out her personal favs. We went with her suggestions & enjoyed them so much. Highly recommend the Lamb leg & eggplant tartine & shakshouka. Very flavourful & filling.

My server Aidan was so welcoming & helpful. We entered & we got the window seat & got the shawarma Benedict, the hummus felt authentic & homemade.

Could not recommend this place more!
