Besides being a beautiful place with great music, light and decorations, this place has delicious food including a tasty lentils soup, chicken shawarma wrap and the best baklava I’ve ever had! The arabic coffee was incredible too 🙌🏻 It was admirable to find out that this restaurant also seeks to enpower and support refugee women👏🏻
