The deli space in Brunswick is decorated with specially painted crockery, tiling and handmade mosaics imported from Morocco, and long communal tables.

It sells the basics of Arabic cooking. The trays of almonds, pistachios and pumpkin seeds are roasted in-house, and the ras el hanout, dukkah and za’atar are mixed by hand. Cabinets brim with brightly coloured bowls of preserved olives and lemons, fresh hummus, tabouleh, labneh and shanklish. Silver plates are piled with fennel-flavoured shortbreads and stubby, sweet pastries called Zanab’s Fingers.
