Customer Testimonial
A cozy restaurant located in the Arab quarter, not far away from the Sultan mosque but in a more quiet part. Good selection of delicious vegetarian food (that we completely obliterated) and very refreshing mocktails. Amar, our very gracious host, made the already great experience even better. Will definitely come again.

Customer Testimonial
First time trying but it was home delivery so can’t comment on service and food in shop.
Qian Wen
Delivery was on time within scheduled time. Food came hot despite delivery from Arab street to Yishun and dessert (fruit tart)’s crust still has some crispiness after we ate 3 hours from delivery time. We did place in refrigerator after it arrived.
Totally love the mixed berry tart!!
Salmon portion was large and love the avocado that came with it. Delicious too (just like the shop name!) Can’t comment on other food my friends are.
It’s halal too so my Muslim friends can eat!

They change the menu monthly so there will always be new items to share regular guests.
Service was excellent as usual and the Suzukagawa sake recommendation was spot on with just a hint of sweetness and mildly fragrant.
Foodwise we have never been disappointed so far, being pleasing to the eye and tasting just as lovely
