I was a little disappointed that my favourite lamb kofta and fennel salad was gone from menu. Not sure the menu as good as before but staff as excellent as ever. Will continue to try more menu items.

The food is always fantastic but the service could improve, it's not as sharp as it could, or should be. If they get that right it would top it off perfectly

Surprising mix of understated cool and tasty Middle Eastern treats with some interesting food combinations - concrete floor means it's a tad noisy but I'd definitely make a return visit. Good casual dining.

The food was light but with exciting flavours from North Africa and Middle East. The dishes worked well for sharing. We had 2 pizzas, 2 smalls, 2 mains and flat bread - plenty for 6. The Turkish pizzas were great. We couldn't resist sweets - just a taste was all that we needed. Would highly recommend.

The service was outstanding! We had hoped to sit outside but due to an enormous downpour we ended up inside. Still had a view of the bay through the windows, enjoyed the poppy seed cheesecake and the prawn and halloumi fritters so much! The pizzas looked great and we plan to go back soon.

Food was great. The waiter insisted on taking our order without pen and paper and consequently got it wrong. It wouldn't have been an issue if he wasn't so offended by our request to write it. Perhaps he could have shown a lottle more humility.

Food was good, as always. Service was a bit lacking. Ordered bread with three people at the table, got two pieces- with hommus. (?) Waited for drink order to be taken... Where not asked if we want dessert or anything else. Had better experiences at Mr Lawrence!

This restaurant has always been fabulous. Located overlooking the water, it has great food ... healthy, interesting and delicious. Interesting wines by both the glass and bottle and a good selection of beers. We’re local, and it’s one of our favourites. Highly recommended when you’re in Melbourne.
