“When a guest comes,
he’s a prince, when he sits, he’s a prisoner, when he leaves, he’s a hero” –
Bedouin proverb, seen on a wall painting at The Bedouin
Dr Ismail, from Japanese to French, but no Middle Eastern, until The Bedouin set up shop in a double corner lot earlier in 2016. It’s nice and quiet at night, with ample parking. Within, the décor is neutral and contemporary, with coppery lights casting an even glow, and patterned tiles adding an exotic touch, but nothing such as hookah pipes or carpet wall hangings that shouts Middle Eastern. Paintings of desert scenes lend some bright colour.
