AI Summary

Collingwood's Armenian-Lebanese charcoal grill. spanner crab hummus, chicken kebab and vinyl beats from chef Tom Sarafian.

Buzzy, intimate charcoal-grill dining room with open kitchen counter seating and spinning vinyl. a genuinely loud, celebratory energy, not built for hushed conversation.

Open kitchen with a chef's counter for watching the charcoal grill in action, a vinyl DJ set most nights, a wood-fired oven for the Aish Baladi bread, and a fresh-produce providore at the front door.

Chef Tom Sarafian (ex-Cumulus Inc, Bar Saracen) cooks Armenian and Lebanese dishes with real heritage signals. several Armenian and Lebanese reviewers describe the food as genuinely reminiscent of home and family gatherings.

Set menus run $95-$130pp, which most reviewers call worth it for the flavour and experience, though several flag it as pricier than à la carte and recommend ordering off-menu for better value.
