The most interesting reviews
- Food’s fine, but what on earth happened to the prices at this place? Every single entree is $8-10 more than I would expect for a restaurant of this calibre. If I’m going to pay this much, I’d want a more sophisticated experience with higher quality food.
- Food was good, but service was even better. Our server Sammara was amazing!
- We loved everything about this place. Our waiter was so friendly and the food was excellent. Would highly recommend. We didn't have reservations but they got us right in (on a Tuesday night). The Mezze and dips appetizer was perfect for the table.
- Our server Samarrah and all other staff were kind and caring, making sure our water cups were always filled. They also provided great care by checking in often to make sure the experience was satisfying and to our taste. The food we ordered was absolutely delicious - the sauces that come with especially the green sauce tasted spectacular and went along with all the food well. I highly recommend this place based on great service and high-quality food as well as a good atmosphere overall. This was an in-door dining experience but they provide the option for out-door service as well.
