Whats the spiel

Our menu is influenced by an ancient region called Levantine. Levant is the Mediterranean part of the Middle East, covering Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Cyprus and the South East corner of Turkey. For the past 400 years the ancient cooking traditions of the area’s different ethnicities have mingled in this melting pot, creating a refined cuisine without national borders . The use of legumes, dairy, grains, spices and different cooking techniques, plus a strong focus on seasonal produce is inherent in this part of the world.
