More details

The delicious Eastern Mediterranean food offering here is crafted and inspired by the food Yael (the owner) grew up with in Tel Aviv, Israel. It is driven by seasonal produce, and of course the desires of their beloved customers, continuing the natural, slow food mantra that takes pride of place at Ima.

Taking a seat in this eatery you will immediately be transfixed by the evocative smells from the kitchen. Everything here is made fresh daily in the deli and the result is a room filled with the aroma of freshly baked pastries, spiced brioche, scones and slices.

$65 for a Three Course Sharing Style Dinner

Options include a classic mezze platter, slow braised lamb shoulder with caramelised onions & black doris plum and almond crumble to finish.
