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 food was amazing, the drinks delicious & the service impeccable! Special thanks to the hostess for noticing our table request & accommodating it! She assigned us what we felt was the best booth in the house - thank you!

The food was amazing & that's what made up for the below average service. Our waitress was not so friendly, did not take the time to check in & make sure we had everything we needed... didn't refill our water etc. Appetizers came separately & 1 of our main dishes was wrong...
Shoutout to the bus boys tho they work hard & carry the team
