Food Philosophy

Grilled first. Always.

Everything we serve starts on the charcoal grill — kebabs, mezze, wraps, all of it cooked over live fire rather than finished under a heat lamp. It’s a slower way to run a kitchen, but it’s the only way we know how to do it.

From the Grill

Charcoal, direct flame, and skewers turned by hand — it’s the one part of the kitchen everything else is built around.
