What to Expect
Brunch is the star: slow-cooked lamb with harissa, whipped feta labneh with pitta, or Turkish eggs swimming in chilli butter. Lunch and dinner feature meze boards, kofta wraps, and baklava that shatters perfectly. Coffee is third-wave, pastries house-baked. Mid-range prices, with generous portions that satisfy herbivores and carnivores alike. Service is warm, knowledgeable, and unpretentious.
