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 for my birthday & truly had the best time. We got the cocktail tree, humus & babaganoush & everything was 10/10! We had the absolute sweetest waitress (Pamela), so attentive & helpful. Staff was amazing, food & drinks were delicious & overall atmosphere was great. Strongly recommend!

Superbe expérience.
Le seul point négatif qui me fait retirer une étoile est le fait que nous devions quitter avant d'avoir eu le temps de prendre un dessert puisque la table était réserver après nous.
Je n'ai rien contre la pratique de réserver 2 services sur la même table en une soirée, mais c'est important de l'indiquer à vos clients lorsqu'ils réservent. Lorsque c'est le cas je m'assure simplement de prendre le 2e service pour ne pas être ''rushé''.

Bonne continuité & bon succès à votre super resto.
