A new casual dining experience conceived by local dining chain Casino Mhanna, Joz Diner is where Arabic tradition meets modern design. To reflect the young and fresh appeal of the interior design, the lighting concept evokes the simplicity of a modern diner paired with a touch of Arab, specifically Beiruti tradition. Raw materials such as pipes and metal are used in the dining area, giving the space a slightly industrial edge. Suspensions with a brass interior finish on the other hand, temper the atmosphere with warm and dim light while surface mounted downlights provide accent lighting on tables. Joz Diner formally opened in 2015 in Antelias and has an indoor seating capacity of 100 in addition to a new outdoor terrace.
