Mim pronounced Meem is the 24^th letter of the Arabic alphabet and means to relax.
This restaurant is quite new opening in the summer of 2008 and is very trendy with a restaurant area and also an area at the front of the restaurant with lots of comfy sofas and seats for if you only wish to go in for a few drinks.
