The menu offers a good selection and price range. Sharing dishes is very popular. The back dining room is plain and noisy. Try to reserve a table in the bar area by the windows. An enjoyable everyone overall.

Started with Pom and Petal G&Ts. Ordered the Fattoush salad, followed by the From the Land platter for two. Our server advised that we could substitute a chicken skewer for one of the Kefta Kebab skewers which are lamb and beef. Great suggestion as my wife doesn't enjoy lamb. The server also recommended a wines for both of us and she was spot on. The salad was fresh and delicious. The platter was excellent as well with tender, nicely grilled meats and veggies. Thoroughly enjoyed.

We had a wonderful experience, with delicious food and great service. This was the first time for some of us trying Lebanese food, and it did not disappoint. Some of our favourites were the potatoes and the steak hummus.

A delicious Mediterranean feast. Great for small plate sharing or full meals. Delicious, fresh and flavourful with excellent pita bread. A bit pricey for what you get but definitely delicious.
