The ambiance in this restaurant is really serene, topped with quality Mediterranean food ! The chicken shawarma was absolutely delicious and a must try. Range of wine selection too!

Batatas were amazing. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Sit outside on the patio . Each table has its own fire pit and if you're still nippy, they have a great selection of teas (unlimited).

It was a great choice to have lunch . Service was perfect and patio is beautiful... Portions are great size. Layali lubnan is a die for dessert . Overall I had a great time here.

Incredible food and atmosphere. One of the best things on the menu is the Batata Harra appetizer . The potatoes have a crispness on the outside that make them so addictive.
