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!

We came for brunch on a Saturday. I had the fatteh. It was too dry. Not enough yogurt sauce. & the impossible Kafta, barely there. I asked for some more yogurt, they got me a tablespoon of yogurt in a little bowl. I didn't finish my plate. Too dry. Not what fatteh should be. My friends had the waffles & fried chicken. Chicken was good. Waffles were dry. Service though was excellent. The food, disappointing :(
