“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 AlarnabImad 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.

Came here after recommendations from some English friends. We had two pizzas and ice cream for desserts. The food was delicious, and being coeliac I really appreciated the varied gluten free menu. They also pay much attention on contamination. The service was also very attentive and friendly. And the ambience was really nice, cosy and warm. I am planning to come back and try the pasta options.
