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!

Excellent repas, bon service, mais 4 étoiles pour l'ambiance car la musique est nettement trop forte.

The shawarma eggs Benedict here is probably the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. First time trying labneh, I liked it. Servers here are all really nice & gorgeous people.
