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!

Great food & service. My only negative comment would be the dessert. The brownie was extremely dry especially around the borders & the ice cream had a greasy feeling in the mount, & did not taste like pistachio at all.

Great atmosphere & professional staff. This is a tapas-style restaurant & our server suggested 5 dishes for 2 people, but we were stuffed after the first three.

The shawarma tacos were a bit disappointing as they didn't have much flavour & the cauliflower dish had a bit too much sumac, but overall the food was delicious.

Music was not too loud either so my companion & I didn't have to shout to talk to one anothe
