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!

Une des serveuses qui nous a servi s'est trompé sur le plat de mon amie, mon amie lui a fait la réflexion gentiment , celle-ci n'a pas été très aimable dans sa réponse & selon elle c'était de la faute de mon amie & non de la sienne. A la fin au moment de payer, étant donné que nous n'avons pas été satisfaite du service, nous n'avons pas donné de gros pourboires ce qui n'a pas enchanté la serveuse.

Surprised that tater tots were the main element of my meal... Overpriced & there was much confusion about tables & seating when we arrived for our reservation.
