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!

Just decided to go down on a random Sunday & it was everything we expected the food was really good & came out fast but wasn't hot . We wanted a table but good luck getting one just walking in even if it's 2:30 pm . The bartender/ servers where excellent but I have to take 1 star away because the music was way to loud & we got sat at the bar when tables stayed empty the whole time we sat & eat

Mentioned to the waiter that I wanted to order vegan dishes, which he was very happy to point out on the menu. However, the kitchen did not deliver, as they left in the cheese & butter on the avocado toast, & on the replacement dish, still left in butter.
