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!

The food was amazing & our dining experience was made by our server, Pamela. We also appreciated the shish barak made with impossible burger. It's a great choice for vegetarians.

Shay has not disappointed on any of the visits I've made, & the most recent one is no different. From the warm greeting upon entering, the great ambiance, phenomenal service, delicious cocktails & a menu that makes it hard not to order one of everything, it all adds up to an amazing dining experience. Pamela, our server made the evening even better. With an impeccable sense of timing for when we needed things, top-notch recommendations, great sense of humour & upbeat demeanor, she is an absolute gem. Looking forward to the next time.

Our group of seven adults enjoyed brunch here today, & it was a wonderful experience! The place has a lovely atmosphere, offering delicious food with a great variety to choose from. The portions were generous-I could only finish half of mine! The service was decent, & we appreciated not feeling rushed or pressured to leave. Overall, we had a fantastic time & would gladly return.

Je recommande fortement Kat , elle nous a donné un service impeccable ! J'étais indécise sur mes choix & elle m'a recommandé & conseillé de très bon plats & boissons .

J'étais pas déçus du tout car c'était tout simplement succulents !!! Je reviendrais 100%.
