The Owner Olivier is one of a kind! He makes the whole dining experience so personal!
The food , service & ambience is first class!
The valet parking...although pricey.....is well worth it!
I have been there quite a few times & I have never been disappointed.

Really enjoyed dinner on the patio. The food & service were terrific. We ordered the babaghanouj & , mouhamara dips, fatoush salad, sumac fries, falafel & baharat fried chicken. I would definitely add this restaurant to a regular rotation. Note that the baharat chicken is breaded & fried so personally for the healthy aspect, I would order something else next time. Also had the dry white Riesling wine which was great!

Très bon service & ambiance intéressante. Salade fattouche un peu décevante pour le prix, mais humus-shawarma & morue charbonnière sont vraiment savoureux. Je recommande chaudement cet endroit!

Nice decor & ambiance. No wait time to be seated. Waiters were attentive (both at taking our order & also taking our plates away). Maybe felt a bit too rushed to clean our table. Food was tasty but portions were very small & not worth the price. We were left hungry & went down the street for dessert. I don't think I would return. Overall ok experience.

Terrace seating was very nice for brunch. Everything we ordered was amazing except for the shakshoka which was average. The pancakes are a must try!
