What people enjoy
- The Lebanese food is fresh, full of flavour and beautifully presented, from the warm pita and dips to the hummus with meat, lamb shank and date cake.
- The stylish, dimly lit room and the terrace make it a popular choice for anniversaries, birthdays and date nights.
- Servers are attentive and friendly, refilling water, clearing plates and checking in even on a busy night.
Things to keep in mind
- Prices are high for the portion sizes, with small plates of kebab, shrimp and fattoush leaving some feeling they paid for the setting.
- The food can feel ordinary for the price, with bland kebabs, cold dishes and a drop in quality noted by returning visitors.
