Our menu pays modern homage to some of the world’s most ancient flavors - those of the Mideast, North Africa & environs of the Mediterranean. This ranges from the Levant, Phoenicia, Babylonia, Berber, Anatolia and Egypt to Canaan, Mesopotamia and more--- today the countries of Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Southern Spain, Cyprus, Palestine, Israel & Jordan. Many of the flavors of this region were popularized over the course of time via the Silk Road & the abundant trading of spices & goods.
