Pronounced "my-dahn," "may-dahn," or "mi-dan," this word has roots in a number of languages. It's been crossing borders for generations from Tangier to Tehran, Beirut to Batumi. It means “gathering place” or “square," often in the middle of a city. The word originates in Arabic, but translates to Hindi, Urdu, Persian, Ukrainian, and even Latin. It's one of the many ways can see differences, but in the end we're all the same.

The “Tawle” (meaning table in Arabic) experience is an ample tasting menu which showcases the best of what the kitchen has to offer. All dishes are served family-style and meant to be shared. As it encompasses the entire dinner menu, it is designed for people with diverse tastes and can be tailored to fit allergies and dietary restrictions.

The Tawle experience is $85 per guest.

Pricing varies for parties or 7 or more
