Description
Inside, the scent of baking dough leads to the front oven. The kitchen’s strengths lie in its dips and small plates, where bowls of hummus and muhammara share space with crispy potatoes and tiger prawns. Styled with subtle reminders of Beirut, the dining room is built for connection, keeping soft lighting and low noise levels that make conversation easy. Portions are generous, served by a staff that maintains a welcoming, unhurried pace.
