Staff and service -

The staff and the service was good.They are...

Went on EID evening to have some dinner and was quite content with the food .

This place has Zomato Gold and the redemption process is a breeze .

The restaurant is located at a fairly secluded part of 100 feet road and the advantage is , it's a nice , peaceful & spacious place.

The decor is a made to resemble a desert setting with palm trees , camel mannequin & sand carpeting.

They have indoor and outdoor seating option. My recommendation is go on evenings and sit in the open outdoor area for a wonderful evening.

Coming to the food , they served dates as a welcome food (they are Date Restaurant obviously ) .

The menu is strictly Mediterranean and that a wonderful thing. They are serving what they are good at and do a good job.

I ordered a Shish Taouk , which is served with pita bread and hummus . The chicken is juicy & succulent,marinated with an amazing spice mix and grilled perfectly. ( One piece was grilled a tad more and a side was totally burnt ) . The pita bread was good. Hummus could have been a tad better.

I also ordered a Chicken Chelow Kebab . Two large cylindrical pieces of minced chicken kebab are served alongwith delicious saffron rice and dugus ( a dip made of onion & tomatoes ). The rice was the winner here. Absolutely delicious rice with a hint of saffron flavor. The chicken Chelow Kebab was also very good . The quantity is perfect for 2 if you are ordering a starter too.

The service is very courteous and fast . Full marks for that.

Overall a nice place to enjoy a peaceful dinner .If you are a Zomato Gold member, do visit this for a steal deal.

Total Bill -394 after discounts, including water bottle.

Date- having a habit of visiting newly opened restaurant, visited this restaurant last year in the month of april, being heard about this restaurant in recent times , i have decided to visit this restaurant again. So visted here during Ramadan days, last week.

Easy to locate, or may be as i visited here before, it was easy to locate.

Date - The Middle Eastern restaurant, this would be seen from a distance, with a board on heights making attractive with lights.

The lane which takes us to restaurant is fully decorated with lights. Lights in the darkness, the best combination to attract anyone.

Soon as we enter the restaurant, we will notice a Camel 🐫 at the centre. Restaurant is a theme based, which gives us, DESSERT feel. Ground has sand all over the pathway heading to different seating arrangements. Restaurant has got both indoor and outdoor seating (ipl screening).

On my first vist to here, i have experienced seating outdoor, so this time it was indoor seating to be experienced.

Mocktails(summer essentials)

Sunrise. Miami. Cranberry mint cooler. Mango dream. Strawberry splash.

Miami is something unique here. With 3layers of juice.

Food👇🏼

Veg Cigar Rolls : this is served with sauce, and salad 🥗. Cigar roll has all Veggies added and deep fried.

Charmula basted cottage cheese: This is something which is must try here. And i have personally liked it.

Veg biryani: needs improvement. As restaurant is more focused on non vegetarian. It didn't expect my veg biryani to be that great. So yeah, it was not a disappointment.

Iftaar menu is available from 6:30pm , which...
