A popular spot, serving traditionally prepared Lebanese and Middle Eastern fare.On a warm day, sit outside and watch the Fitzroy Street crowds. Many flock here for drawn out, relaxed weekend lunches. On some Friday and Saturday evenings, a belly dancer performs (also by arrangement).The food is good quality and excellent value. Try a plate overflowing with tabbouleh, hummus, baba ghanoush, salad and chips (AUD9) or the mixed grill platter, with smaller portions of these plus kebab and koft. The freshly made falafel is fantastic and the reputation of Cleopatra's cardomon-laced Turkish coffee is reaching Istanbul! The mint tea is delightfully refreshing. Licensed and "bring your own".
