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!

C'était délicieux! C'était ma première fois. On a été un peu surpris quand on nous a dit qu'il valait mieux prendre 7 plats (on était 4)pour partager pour pouvoir manger à sa faim en consultant le menu sur le site web, on serait peut être pas venu parce qu'on trouvait cela un peu dispendieux) mais c'était un bon conseil de votre staff on a adoré l'expérience de partager les plats.

Les plats étaient vraiment un hit or miss, certaines choses étaient très bonnes & d'autres laissaient à désirer. Globalement la nourriture est arrivée froide à table. La serveuse était super (merci Rachelle!)

Parmi les plats qu'on avait pris y avait la Shakshouka. La texture était très liquide & ne ressemblait pas à la texture ordinaire d'une shakshouka comparativement aux photos ou à la dernière fois, elle n'était pas bonne. Le cappuccino nous a été servi froid également.
