This restaurant’s stunning, open-air dining room is the courtyard of a ruined building lit by shimmering candles, which makes it at least as good a place for a drink as a meal. The kitchen has stepped up its game and now the food, fare such as falafel and juicy shawarma platters, lives up to the ambience.
