How a Belly Dancing Dinner Works
The dancer performs between the tables, a few feet from dinner. We don’t set up a stage or stop service for the show. Servers keep moving, plates keep coming out, and the performance works its way through the room.
The setting is our regular dining room: painted arches, stained-glass pendant lamps, booths along the wall and tables in the middle that we can push together for a group.
The performance begins at 6:30 PM. There’s one performance each night, so arrive before 6:30 if the show is the reason you’re coming. A professional dancer moves through the dining room rather than staying in one spot.
When the music ends, dinner keeps going. The full menu and the bar stay open through the evening.
Cover Charge, Tickets and Reservations
There’s nothing separate to buy. Order dinner from the regular menu and the performance is included with the evening.
The event is dine-in only because it takes place in the dining room. We don’t take reservations online or by message. Tables under 6 are first-come, first-served; parties of 6 or more can call to reserve. Show dates change from month to month, so check the Belly Dancing Night schedule before you come.
Walk-ins are welcome for tables under 6. Parties of 6 or more, call (559) 261-2747 to reserve and we'll set the room for your group. An automatic 18% service charge applies to dine-in parties of 6 or more.
What to Order on Show Night
You don’t need a special order for show night. The regular menu is available, and these dishes are easy to eat while you watch the room.
Combo Kebobs gives you both beef and chicken, with bell peppers, onions and our house garlic sauce; dinner adds a kefta skewer. Spicy Chicken, our top seller, is fire-grilled diced chicken in our signature spice blend. If you want something on the table while the room fills, start with hummus or labneh from the appetizer list.
Baklava works well between songs. We make it in our kitchen from scratch every day with layered phyllo and walnuts. For something richer, the Baklava Cheesecake is family-made from the family recipe and sits beside it on the dessert list. The bar stays open through the evening.
Is Belly Dancing Night Family-Friendly?
Yes. Children are welcome, and the performance is meant for all ages. Show night also works for birthdays and family dinners where grandparents and children share the same table.
Parties of 6 or more should call us to reserve so we can pull tables together before you arrive. Under 6, walk in. Parking is free in the Herndon Town Center plaza, and our location page has the hours and directions. The Belly Dancing Night page lists the next show dates.
Before Show Night
Is there a cover charge for belly dancing night?
No. There's no cover charge, no ticket and no door fee. You order from the regular menu and the show comes with your meal. It's dine-in only, since the performance happens in the dining room.
What time does the belly dancing start?
The performance begins at 6:30 PM, and there's one performance each night. Regular dinner service runs before and after it, and the full menu and the bar are open throughout, so come early if you want a table before the music starts.
Do I need a reservation?
Under 6, no. Seating on show nights is first-come, first-served and walk-ins are welcome. For 6 or more, call (559) 261-2747 to reserve so we can pull the tables together before you arrive. We don't take reservations online or by message, only by phone. An automatic 18% service charge applies to dine-in parties of 6 or more.
Is belly dancing night family-friendly?
Yes. It's a family-friendly cultural event and all ages are welcome. A professional dancer performs traditional belly dancing while regular dinner service carries on around the performance, so families with children eat exactly as they would on any other night.
