We enjoyed a delicious meal paired with outstanding service. It’s been quite some time since we’ve experienced such attentive and friendly staff, and we couldn’t be happier. That said, I did notice the prices have increased significantly, and for the type of food offered, it feels slightly overpriced. Nonetheless, the overall experience was excellent, and I’d still recommend giving it a try!

Service was very good and food was delicious. My wife and I enjoyed our meal and will visit again or order in if we ever want some great Lebanese food. Tabouleh was especially good and all meats were seasoned and grilled very well. We went on a very cold night but heating inside was very good. Only downside for us was the ambience as it all looked a little too red, but that was personal preference. Still a great dining experience.

I managed to get a booking on my way in. The venue is lovely, staff were friendly, service was great and our waitress was very pleasant. Only feedback I have is the over use of phones where people are constantly taking selfie which is offputtinh but that is no reflection on the venue or staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our brunch.
