  • Prime Rundle Street Setting

    Prime positioning on bustling Rundle Street lets couples and show-goers grab an authentic feast before or after downtown performances.

Authentic Lebanese charcoal meats and shareable mezze

  • Mixed platter

    We ordered an entree of the fried halloumi followed by the falafel and a mixed platter for one with some additional flat bread. And this was a lot of food for two people! You truly get your moneys worth for the amount.

    The Fried Haloumi came with a sweet sauce to balance, tasty.

  • Dip Platter

    The dip Platter was Hommus, Baba Ghanouj and Labneh. I could eat hommus every day and really enjoyed it. These were served with fried bread and freshly baked bread.
