    This is the third time I've eaten here in the last few months and it was outstanding, as usual! While we didn't love where they seated us (even though we had made reservations over a month in advance - but now I know what to ask for in the reservation), the food and service were great. The roasted beet hummus, muttabal and fresh-from- the-oven pitas were probably our favorites, but everything was great. Last time I came here, I ordered the roasted beets salad with grilled salmon (also amazing). We also tried two desserts, the knafeh and osmalieh ice cream, both were excellent...and they went great together! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    I have been here before and have received excellent service in the past. They were not that busy this time , yet we had to look for our server many times through out the night . Also, I had the sushi this time around it was not as fresh as times in the past. Still one of my faves from the area, but the quality did dip a bit.
