The menu leans heavily into small plates, which is good for sharing. They're open most days from 12 to 9 PM, staying open a bit later on Fridays and Saturdays. Sunday is an early night, closing at 6 PM. The restaurant ticks a lot of boxes: Mediterranean and North African influences are present, and they offer halal, vegan, and vegetarian options. It seems to cater to a wide range of people, from families and tourists to groups and the LGBTQ+ community, identifying as a Transgender safespace. Expect a casual and cozy vibe, although the photos suggest it can get lively.
