Was in HR for 1 night and tried this wonderful spot. Great feel to the place, clearly a lot of thought has gone into this place and what it should stand for.

We were in the main dining area at the back of the restaurant and enjoyed the contemporary interior design and the earth hues... more

The menu is sophisticated. We had dinner there. We thought everything from the house made lavash bread to dessert was delicious. Scallops were perfectly cooked on an onion puree with microgreens.
