Great appetizers of vegetable chips and pita with dips started our meal. Beverages arrived quickly. Two of us had fish and it was delicious. My husband had lamp chops, which were perfectly done. Service was very good and timely. The restaurant was jammed, but noise level was fine. We could have conversation without shouting. We’ll be back to enjoy the great food and service.
