❤️ Wow, What A Journey ❤️
Misso Lounge began in early 2020. Our dream was to bring our native cuisine to Lancaster. A fusion of Arabic and Mediterranean flavours served in an opulent, yet comfortable surrounding.
We found some great premises elsewhere, but being from and in love with Lancaster and it's community, we wanted to set up here. To provide a comfortable, welcoming, social space for all where one could work, study, dine or celebrate. A home from home.
We worked tirelessly to ensure the reality met with our dream, right down to the smallest detail.
Yes, we had our fair share of challenges. Firstly, with the building. Then the Lockdowns, which were followed by further building issues. Throughout our endeavours, our determination was unwavering, and that has been repaid to us a million times over.
Our wonderful staff, who became like family to us, were utterly amazing. They gave Misso their all, and their love of the job was evident and commented upon daily. We can not thank them enough.
To all those who dined with us, celebrated with us, we thank you also. Your enjoyment and gratitude have been so humbling and will forever stay with us as fond memories.
Incredibly, many of our loyal customers have already reached out to us and are just as upset as we are. This is a testament to the strength of community Lancaster has.
It is all of this that has made the already extremely difficult business decision, even more difficult. Sadly, this wasn't the right time for us with all the spiralling costs.
We were never going to compromise on our standards, nor were we going to raise our prices.
We have made some wonderful friends, and as we have now closed the Lounge curtains, we want to once again thank all of you who have supported us.
However, this is not a final goodbye. We are already planning our next adventure ... so keep a look out ....
Isam, Deena & Family ❤️
