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!

Great service, nice staff, the presentation was on point. We went there for supper. What we had & we absolutely loved were Fried Brussel sprouts, Hummus & mushrooms & Sumec fries. The best cocktail was the Habibi. The valet parking was very convenient. For vegetarians, the Fattet Batinjein (eggplant, impossible kafta) is a must try. It was sooooo good! I'm still dreaming about it. Highly recommend!
