Owned by a dear family friend. The food (Lebanese) is fantastic and there's a hafli (dance party) every night. Nicola himself comes out to lead the dancing and is not content until every last person in the restaurant is up on his / her feet so bring your dancing shoes and be prepared for a FUN evening!
