24 Course Tasting Menu 

Reserved exclusively for intimate groups of 2 to 5 guests, this is the most extraordinary Hidden Gazebo experience a culinary treasure hunt unlike anything else in San Diego.

Inspired by the childhood game of hide and seek, guests embark on a multi-hour journey through our garden, where food becomes part of the adventure. Each course is hidden throughout the sanctuary, in handcrafted boxes, tucked inside garden corners, or even suspended in nature-inspired nests.

For every discovery, guests receive a riddle or clue leading them to their hidden creation. You have five minutes to find it… or the treasure is lost!

The 24-course journey follows the story of our garden, celebrating seasonal plants, sustainability, Egyptian heritage, and the connection between nature and food. Guests will explore, discover, and taste along the way, only returning to the table for the main signature courses.

Expect unexpected moments, playful surprises, and luxurious flavors, many creations are elevated with rare ingredients such as gold, caviar, and truffles. Chef Noura personally guides the experience, sharing stories and creating unforgettable interactions that transform dinner into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

This is not simply a meal. It is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.
