Good menu and just seeing and smelling the chops and platters that others had ordered made me salivate. Excellent meats and mezze dishes, and great crunchy fresh falafel too. Very generous portions.

The food here was all delicious. Portions were just right and service was perfect. We ordered 2 mixed grills, Lebanese pizza and hummus. All was perfectly cooked and plenty for a family of 4 and reasonably priced. There is a mosque over the road which also has a women's section. Plenty of parking on the streets except during the restricted time zone.

Greta for veggie food and quick lunches of you can get served. Relaxed and friendly. Cafe style and not expensive. It has a lovely charm and welcome for the change of pace from the city centre. Parking however is difficult although some on street it is one hour only and residents parking on side roads

For several years, this place has consistently exceeded my expectations. The Arabic restaurant offers delicious and perfectly cooked mixed grill meats along with a variety of other authentic Arab dishes. I adore the spot for its genuine Middle Eastern decor and cuisine.

The menu has an excellent mix of Middle Eastern fare from hummus to tagines. For many of my visits, we have opted to get the Oasis Special Mixed Grill (see the image) which if you're a meat eater is the perfect remedy. It comes with a great selection of Lamb and Chicken cooked in various ways served beautifully on a platter with salad and your choice of chips and rice. The meat is well seasoned and the chips crisp and delicious, a true delight!
