Moona – Middle Eastern
This intimate sanctuary invites guests to gather over a vibrant mosaic of Eastern Mediterranean small plates, where silky swirls of hummus and smoky baba ganouj are drizzled with fragrant, liquid-gold olive oil. The air is thick with the earthy perfume of toasted za’atar and roasted peppers, drawing diners into a warm, communal experience that elevates traditional Levantine flavors through artfully prepared spreads and colorful, seasonal mezze.
