“Simon Shaw of El Gato Negro and Canto has a new Middle Eastern venture and it’s hit the ground running” according to early reports on this subterranean 2021 newcomer, which occupies the Grade II-listed historic cellars (previously occupied by Panama Hatty's, RIP) of the city’s famous Reform Club. “The place looks the real deal” with a “lovely fit-out” – making it a promising addition in a trendy Eastern Mediterranean vein.

"Wonderful Middle Eastern small plates. The meat mezze a particular highlight. Great service and a good, reasonably priced wine list. It deserves to be busier than it was when we visited."
