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!

I had to get on here & give a review because this restaurant did not disappoint in any criteria!! I came here for brunch with my dad & ordered the Shakshuka (delicious & portion size is amazing) the Salmon dish was so fresh, & the Figs were juicy & sweet. Everything was spot on. Ambiance? 10/10, music choice? 10/10 (Frank Ocean, Sade, it doesn't get better) & the SERVICE is what makes this place memorable. Sean gave us shots on the house, Anthony made us laugh & Sabrina gave us the Dubai Chocolate French toasts on the house 🥹 She's a sweetheart btw, def ask for her when you're here! They're all so sweet & they made my father's trip to Montreal so much more special by treating him with so much warmth & love ✨ Customer service makes all the big difference when it comes to a restaurant experience so I highly recommend this place to everyone 💕

Will def come back & bring my mom next time. Thank you guys!!

J'ai été servi par Juliette, & honnêtement, elle a été exceptionnelle du début à la fin. Souriante, attentionnée & très professionnelle, elle s'est assurée que tout se passe parfaitement pendant le repas. Elle connaît bien le menu & donne d'excellents conseils selon les goûts de chacun. Son attitude positive & son sens du service font toute la différence - on se sent vraiment bien accueilli.

Merci encore Juliette pour ton super service, tu rends l'expérience encore meilleure
