To Begin
- Kubana Bread – Leila’s house brioche, soft and fluffy, served with crushed fresh tomato and creamy tahini.
A must-try that surprises with its simplicity and warmth.

Grill & Flame
- Beef Kebab – Grilled with herbs, chili, tahini and mashwiya salsa.

Both dishes arrive beautifully charred and aromatic, with sauces that pair perfectly with the Kubana bread.

- Manseef – Minced chicken with hummus, harissa, pine nuts and cherry tomatoes; a wonderful blend of textures and spice.
•

Tender and deeply flavoured, the sauce complements every bite.
•
Despite the abundance of spices, chili and peppers, the flavours are balanced without overwhelming heat, truly enjoyable.
•
Sweets Menu

The molten cheese within the crisp layers adds a delightful contrast in texture.
