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!

The baklava pancakes were amazing. The service was awful. I ordered a coffee from 3 different employee, they still didn't bring the right one ? It was the smallest coffee & half of it was in the little plate underneath. They took forever to serve us as well, the good thing is that we were not in a rush. They messed up with our checks

Got the group menu: salmon gravlax, hummus, babaganouj, toast with labneh, potatoes, benedictine shawarma, shakshouka, waffle & fried taouk, crêpe baklava. Everything was visually stunning & tasted on point. Definitely go hungry because portions are generous!
