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!

Went there for a private celebration. Was disappointed at first since when you book online, you have to pay 50$ per person to guarantee the reservation but I was able to make a booking by phone. The place is little bit worn out but we got a nice table. Unfortunately most of the items you see on their social media are not available, so we had to choose from their lunch menu which is somehow limited. However the food presentation & taste are excellent. Some items needed few adjustments but in general, everything was great. The only thing I will go back to have another time is their dessert the baklava pancake something, oh my god , it is from another world( highly recommended) . The service was very good & friendly , in general I will try again. They charged 15$ for parking which I found somehow strange & the kitchen closes at 15:00 but you still can stay in the resto
