    Excellent food, ambience, and service. Due to a large dining area, the tables are not crowded together. We had the WARAK ENAB COCOTTE, Riz, Duck Schwarma, and the mixed grill. Everything was tasty and flavorful.

    This place is amazing—from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave. Brunch is served in a stunning, sky-lit atrium that sets a warm, elegant tone. The experience begins with a selection of pastries, granola with creamy Greek yogurt and honey, and continues with a variety of egg dishes, each with a Lebanese touch. Everything is thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Service is excellent—attentive but never rushed. You're welcome to linger and enjoy the space, which only adds to the charm. A perfect spot for a leisurely and memorable brunch.
