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!

Incroyable expérience les oeufs 65⁰ sont 11/10 quelle idée extraordinaire. Les pancakes baklava sont aussi délicieuses. Ça vaut vraiment la peine de prendre plusieurs plats à partager pour les brunchs. Le staff est aussi très professionnel & attachant. Kat, Pam & Audrey je les engage n'importe quand !! Seule chose que j'ajouterais est un DJ.
