AI Summary

Docklands waterfront Middle Eastern with shisha, kofta, and late-night dining until 2am.

A lively, dark, and atmospheric space with Docklands waterfront views and an elegant black fitout. The addition of a live belly dancer on some nights and shisha service creates a distinctive late-night entertainment feel. Busy nights can be cramped and noisy; quieter sessions feel more relaxed and classy.

Shisha service available with a wide range of flavours. Open until 2am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. one of the later-closing dinner venues in the Docklands precinct. Vegan-specific menu available. Belly dancer entertainment on select nights. Waterfront harbour views. Signature set menu at approximately $80 per person.

Reviews reveal a Persian and Afghan culinary influence across the menu, though the restaurant markets itself as Middle Eastern broadly. Dishes include Persian-influenced mains (mantu, chopan kebab) alongside more generic Middle Eastern staples. One reviewer with a Persian background noted the cooking is adapted rather than strictly traditional.

Divided opinion: many reviewers find value in the generous portions and the overall experience, especially the $80 set menu. A meaningful minority consider the pricing too high for the food quality delivered. The Docklands location commands a location premium. Best value when ordered via the set menu rather than à la carte.
