Tas (✿╹◡╹)November 16, 2018One of the best Middle Eastern food spot! Go go go. Evening menu only offers 4, 6 or 8 dish relatively expensive options. Try the lunch menu lower prices but excellent quality!
EL のりJuly 24, 2013Middle eastern flavours come alive here!! Turkish delight doughnuts.Go all out with the arak or raki while eating. Arabic coffee is strong but oh so good and of course shishaUpvoted Oct 21
Michael LautersteinApril 12, 2013$15 for The Maha Lamb Burger with an Efes Turkish beer is amazing value. Burger is unique and is among the best in town. Do yourself a favor at lunchtime!
- Paul CanterburyMarch 30, 2018We had the 4 course banquet and it was excellent! Also do yourself a favour and try one of the house cocktails; you won’t be disappointed.
Dianne StoreyApril 3, 2018Oh my goodness sooo good! Had the eight course meal. And they catered very well for GF and no fish! Well done! A lovely evening felt very spoilt.
Jonathan SteffanoniJanuary 3, 2019Seasonal menu is really good... just go with the recommendations of the wait staff.
- Josh ChaffeyJuly 3, 2017Went here based on the extremely good reviews and FourSquare's "moderately cheap" rating... boy did I get burned! Lunches may be stunning value but the dinners are not. Wonderful food though.
aneedeeJuly 16, 2011I don't think this place can claim to be an authentic middle-eastern restaurant when half of the 'Soufra' had pork as the key ingredient. They were delicious mind you, but still a bit puzzling..
MJJune 18, 2018You only have to choose how many dishes you want to try and they will do the rest. The number of dishes is not equivalent to the amount of food but how many different things you'll get to try instead.
Shawn CallahanSeptember 7, 2019Underground, subdued lighting, high-end dining. For special nights out.
Adam ClaytonDecember 5, 2012Amazing, intimate dining experience. The whole order is customised around you and the waiters are so attentive.
David KoopmansSeptember 11, 2010An adventure and an absolute treat for a special occasion. Incredible in every aspect. Food, staff, decor. Worth every penny. Read more
Jackie McMillanJuly 25, 2011Modern Middle Eastern food - the duck entree won me, as did a side of eggplant with fermented black beans. Read more
The soufra (shared plate) is terrific and plenty for lunch. Pork loin with pomegranate was delicious
John ApartDecember 21, 2010Well pleased. Lamb was on point. as was the Tapioca dish. Poached egg/halva dish failed though
John CurtinMarch 27, 2010Try the israeli beer it's banging and try and do a private function party here the staff will look after you and your crew
Theo AdisAugust 6, 2011For some reason everything was 12 hour cooked lamb. Unfortunately a little dry and much too fatty. Skip the banquet and choose your own food - keep away from the &(&@&; lamb.
Carla DeeJanuary 16, 2011The soufra is too much food. We shared 4 vegetarian dishes for one person and was satisfied. Very expensive for what it is. Try Movida.
