“In Syrian culture, we can’t make any journey without first planning the food. If you decide to go to the cinema, you plan what you’ll eat. If you plan to visit your mother, you know that you’re going to eat. There’s no going out without eating something.”

-Imad Alarnab



Imad Alarnab was a successful restaurateur in Damascus with three restaurants, plus several juice bars and cafes. In the war, Imad's restaurants were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety for his family. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time, and found even in the most challenging times, his passion for food and bringing people together to celebrate life was strong.

    Great food - we tried a variety of small plates and were impressed with the flavour and quality of ingredients in them all. Service was very good - attentive staff and lots of them. Good value for money especially considering its central location.

    Food was great but then.. dessert Syrian ice cream with candy floss? As a fairly boring UK native this seemed bonkers. Was amazing. Will be going back just for this ice cream alone.

    Very good service, our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and allergies. However, restaurant was very loud and difficult to hear and talk. Bigger choice of main courses would be nice

    Super friendly staffs and the service was great. Food was also satisfying though it's slightly on the expensive end considering the portion.
