   This place is a hidden gem! The ambiance and vibe and welcoming, with lots of natural lighting and very comfortable seating. The patio area was delightful and completely covered from the elements. The food was outstanding! My friend and I shared one appetizer, the cauliflower, which I could return for just this one dish! We also shared one entree & side dish, the whole branzino and roasted carrots which was plenty for two. Then we shared their signature dessert which is a tahini soft serve ice cream with a sesame shaving (lactose & GF). I wouldn’t have ordered it but our server, Belen, highly recommended it! She was phenomenal. We came for lunch but can’t wait to return for dinner with my hubby!!

   I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times and have always enjoyed the delicious food and inviting ambiance, which keeps me coming back. However, my most recent visit with my family was disappointing due to the service from our assigned server. While the front desk service was alright, our server (G. with a first name starting with V) was the worst I’ve ever encountered here. She never smiled, never checked in on us during the meal, and didn’t even bring us water. What made it worse was that I noticed her treating other tables much more warmly, which felt like she was picking and choosing whom to give good service to. With a mandatory 18% service charge, it’s frustrating to feel like she wasn’t making an effort with us, possibly because she knew she would get tipped regardless. While I still love the food, this experience really threw me off, and I hope management addresses inconsistencies in service to ensure all guests are treated equally. Would I return? Maybe—but I’d definitely ask for a different server next time.

   Disregard for allergies, dishes ordered did not arrive, fries arrived at the end and very cold. An unpleasant experience last night as opposed to other times we've been there.

   We ordered the prime steak shashlik and the waitress repeated it after us and later the prime steak ribeye came out. We said we ordered the shashlik and she proceeded to gaslight us and said that we ordered the ribeye and we were the ones that made the mistake when 3 people at the table heard her repeat the word shashlik. We then had to wait another 20 minutes for the shashlik to be prepared. We weren’t give any discount or dessert on the house to compensate for this. However the food was outstanding. Very disappointed in this experience with the waitress though.

    We had a fantastic dinner. Going to a restaurant with a vegan, pescatarian and gluten-free group everyone had more than enough they could order. I saw one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants that I've been to. It's also a short walk from the Marriott Turnberry. I highly recommend this restaurant. I'm so glad that we found it. Look forward to returning.
