Inside the room

Sandstone, candlelight, terrace air, and dishes made for the centre of the table.

Our kitchen moves through dips, warm bread, small plates, fire-cooked mains, market vegetables, and sweets with Middle Eastern character.

The room is intimate and textured: heritage stone, low light, and a laneway arrival that makes dinner feel discovered.

Guests call out the hidden location, warm service, tasting menu, cocktails, and generous share-table style.

Such a cozy restaurant to eat at. Very low-key and hidden in the heart of The Rocks.
