The restaurant offers delicious Middle Eastern cuisine with a variety of gluten-free options, including gluten-free Pita bread. The staff is well-informed and accommodating.

The food at this restaurant was extremely fresh and delicious, and the setup and outdoor area were very nice. However, the portion sizes should be larger or the prices should be reduced, and they need to be more careful about their charges. I was overcharged by $2.

Prior to relocating to Melbourne, I was very religiously in my food choices and often it would take a lot of effort to convince me to try another cuisine. It’s been almost 5 years since my arrival here and I dare say I’m a lot more adventurous and have a newfound love for middle eastern types of cuisines.

The best hummus and falafel I’ve had in Melbourne . Hummus was really beautifully seasoned and smooth. Good enough to eat on its own. Really liked the Middle Eastern riffs on classic cocktails as well .

3.5. The staff was extremely friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the boureka, which was our favorite dish of the night. The lamb pita was quite distinctive, with the meat cooked inside the pita and served with a sauce. While the concept was interesting, I personally prefer having my usual salads in the pita. The chicken pita was delicious. However, the portions were a bit on the smaller side, especially considering the price.
