Nether Poppleton, Middle Eastern Restaurant Guide

“A great discovery – and an interesting take on Middle Eastern food!” – Muna Al-Maflehi took a boozer on Walmgate in 2021 and relaunched it as a Middle Eastern restaurant. It had a big boost in February 2025 when Jay Rayner in one of his final pieces for The Observer praised it as a place where “you will eat well” with his top pick being a dish that was “the best chickpea and rice”. Our diners in our annual poll say the “lovely spicing marries with deep flavours” to create a “genial” experience.
