Divis Fancy is an ambitious venture on a street that houses a number of ethnic restaurants, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner the Middle Eastern way.
The large airy facility is nicely painted dark brown, almost ochre, and seats almost 50. It also sports a large bar which serves a number of draught beers. Glass-filled candles brighten the walls and the round, simple tables. The quality of the food we tasted was what one would expect from a good Middle-Eastern cook.
