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!

Impeccable! Le service est irréprochable, wow. Le serveur Alexis était non seulement poli, il avait une prestance irréprochable. Courtois, & surtout il soutenais le regard des clients avec attention , qul est une TRÈS GRANDE MARQUE DE RESPECT. J'ai adoré. J'ajoute une photo du set up de service de thé individuel, qu'il m'a servi gracieusement.
