Beyond the traditional favourite mezzes and colourful salads, the menu presents culinary specialties such as ”Harira” (a spicy lamb soup), freshly made grilled meat and fish, Lebanese milk pudding flavoured with rosewater or “Um Ali”, an Egyptian bread pudding.
The restaurant’s Executive Chef, whose passion is authentic Arabic cuisine, offers a personal guarantee that every guest at the restaurant will have the impression they are on a gastronomic journey to the Middle-East.
