Default Naming my new place

Hi guys - I am finally opening my restaurant - I have foundthe right place and have all the wheels in motion!!! - I am very excited about the whole prospect!! - The menu is going to be 'global' - a couple of sushi starters (california rolls etc), a bit of tex-mex, a couple of curry dishes, steak, dim sum etc, just a nice and varied eating experience. The only thing is I am stuck for a name that reflects the 'eclectic' menu. We could have some fun with this and come up with some unusual names - any help would be gratefully received

A name on the tip of my tongue, I mean my fingers . .

A name describing a city that was on an intersection of important trade routes, especially in Asia . . It hasn't come to mind yet.

How about caravansary? Only for a restaurant I'd perhaps use the alternative spelling, caravanserai. Or, even better, the Persian form: karwansarai

A caravansary is an inn built around a large court for acommodating caravans. or, in the Mid-east, any large inn or hostelry. Basically, it served people (and foods) from all over the world---which pretty much describes your new place.
