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 big group platters are amazing. Seems not many take the Kebab compared to the chicken or more shrimp

From making the reservations to the end of the meal, everyone was so on point, great service & amazing food!! Maybe it is an age thing but the only thing I would mention is that I would have liked the music to be a bit less loud. Just easier to talk & hear the conversation. Other than that, PERFECTION!!!

Nous sommes allés bruncher pour l'anniversaire de mon amie malheureusement au niveau de la cuisine & du service nous avons été très déçues. Pour 180$ consommé je m'attendais à beaucoup plus. Les repas était fades & froids. Mon sandwich à l'agneau était assez sec, le fromage sec comme si il avait été fait depuis plusieurs heures. A peine nous avons terminé nos plats. Le service était vraiment nul & lent, ils nous ont emmené le mimosa avant le café après il a fallu redemander nos cafés car ils l'ont oublié j'ai reçu mon plat au moins 15 min avant mon amie.
Les serveurs n'étaient pas au petit soin comme voir vos verres vides d'eau & vous en servir il fallait tout le temps leur demander. Même quand on demandait de débarrasser il partait avec une assiette & revenait un bon moment après.
Je n'y retournerai pas c'est certain.
