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've been going for a while now & the dinner menu & staff is absolutely fantastic, I went to the brunch recently & if you don't mind a little noise it's the same experience with a different & interesting menu!

What a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the lamb kebab & lamb chops. The hummus, eggplant dish, & falafel were also great. Staff were very friendly & accommodating. We are on vacation coming from the US & had a great time!

The food was delicious, the atmosphere beautiful & the service was excellent. We had the pleasure of being severed by Damien who was super nice & extremely helpful. We had a few special requests such as a nut allergy & Damien went above & beyond to accommodate us & make us feel comfortable. I had the filet mignon which was some of the most tender I've ever had & the baklava cheesecake is a must! Will definitely be coming again & bringing more friends along. The only downside is if you are coming by car, it may be a little tricky to find parking. The restaurant has a few reserved spots but they are tight & very limited. Street parking is available but also limited.

We had dinner - Ordered few appetizers & grilled chicken - Moutabl was full of tomatoes & I think was not done by fresh eggplant. But overall was great
