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!

Overpriced & little portions, we were at a social event so I didn't pick the restaurant.
Mediterranean menu with no special theme.
I've have taste same type of dishes at a restaurant on Jean talon & way more affordable & more generous portions.
We were a table of six & the bill was 100$/ person even when splitting the order.
Also their interact machine was not compatible with my card or bank. I had terrible time trying to pay, it took forever I had to try several times with my credit card & the waiter insist I should pay with debit which was rude since the problem was their machine.
Service was decent, staff was currently filling water, removing plates & delivering the food. The atmosphere was casual. However, I Don't Recommend it & I Won't be Going Back.
