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 restaurant si vous y allez, je vous recommande d'être servi par Nizar. Malgré un problème avec nos boissons, il a su être super aidant. Un must en termes de professionnalisme & de qualités humaines. Pour la nourriture, tout est sorti vite & tout était excellent, je recommande FORTEMENT les pancakes au Baklava. Encore merci à Nizar pour son bel accueil & à la cuisine pour la qualité de la nourriture.

Food & drinks were great, but the best thing today was our waitress, Audrey. She took such good care of us, made us feel like VIP, even though the place was packed & we could see she was a busy bee. She was so bubbly! It's nice to see that we can still get great service in Montreal.
