Best Lebanese food in our neighbourhood!
TIP: it sometimes looks closed from the outside because of the lighting, so make sure you check the front door. They also do online orders and home deliveries.

Saint Katherine's Docks are easy to get to with a direct DLR from Canning Town station to Tower Gateway. This beautiful dosk-side area has a great selection of restaurants, cafes, bakeries and bars for any time of the day. We have often been here for a brunch on the weekends when the sun is out and we can eat at a table outside looking out onto the water and sailboats.
