The sign for Ima glows orange as the afternoon sun filters through its stained glass canopy. This middle eastern resturant used to be Ima Cuisine on Shortland street but moved down to Fort Street a few years ago. Ima and Ibn is its full name, being mother in hebrew, to reflect its Israeli roots and Ibn, meaning son in arabic, for the new Palestinian partner.
