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 food was pretty delicious, & the place had a nice vibe! I just didn't love the service, because it was very much lacking. Our waitress just didn't seem like a kind person, & she even spilled a few things on some of us at the table - never apologized for the inconvenience of that... kind of bizarre behaviour. I'd go back for the food but definitely hope to be served by someone happy to be there as part of the staff.
