An unused street front space, located at the end of Tariq al-Wad and near Suq al-Qattanin, had been a dark and neglected former stable, probably dating from the early Islamic era, and full of debris. The project adapted the domed, split-level space to accommodate a modern restaurant. Implementation began by clearing the meters-deep debris from the lower ground floor and ventilating/drying the space for several months before cleaning the stone walls and pointing them with lime mortar. The street level entrance area has café seating and connects to the lower level via a steel-cabled circular stairway. The lower floor was finished as the main dining room and accommodates the modern kitchen and sanitary facilities. The Gheith family-owned restaurant opened for business in 2003
