“In Syrian culture, we can’t make any journey without first planning the food. If you decide to go to the cinema, you plan what you’ll eat. If you plan to visit your mother, you know that you’re going to eat. There’s no going out without eating something.”-Imad AlarnabImad Alarnab was a successful restaurateur in Damascus with three restaurants, plus several juice bars and cafes. In the war, Imad's restaurants were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety for his family. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time, and found even in the most challenging times, his passion for food and bringing people together to celebrate life was strong.

Lovely venue, great atmosphere, cosy and vibrant on a cold night!. We were originally seated near the door in quite a draft but on requesting another table we were moved promptly. Food was excellent my ricotta and truffle ravioli had a wonderful balance of flavours and my companions enjoyed their beef ragu pastas and the veg risotto (loaded with walnuts!). Service was friendly and attentive, would definitely return
