Kevin, le Proche-Orient extends as far west as Egypt. Still a bit east of owner’s native Algeria. But I guess culture and cuisine of Algeria similar to that of le Proche-Orient ?It is described as Oriental. In my world, Oriental restaurants are Asian. My take on this menu is that in this sense, Oriental is North African.

Who is the owner?
This reply is completley tounge in cheek. I do not think it is correct to say Oriental in todays day and age. You must say Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, and many other countries, without hurting feelings. I was a son of the WW11 generation. My father was a veteran of the European War, destroyed him and our family. I praise the women and men that served during the Korean and Vietnam wars. We have it so easy in the USA compared to much of the rest of the world. Otherwise SBH online would not exist.This article on the Destination-Saint-Barths website provides more information on Shatira. It is described as Oriental. In my world, Oriental restaurants are Asian. My take on this menu is that in this sense, Oriental is North African.
