    Our service was perfect in addition to our waitress. The hostess on the other hand needs a lesson on etiquette. We had reserved a table for four and last minute our baby sitter canceled. In the entry she told us that we reserved a table for four but with a child it is five. She was rude and did mot even want to hear our side. We did get a great table and there were many more. No need to make someone feel bad on New Years Eve.

    The food was excellent! Service was spotty and slow. We had a 7 pm reservation and didn’t get our first course (hummus) until 7:50. Not enough pita served with it. Overly long stretches between plates. But the food was delicious and we’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!

    Wonderful, modern, comfortable atmosphere. Great service. Lovely selection of tasty cocktails. Hummus' and spreads were delicious, but portions were too small for one person, let alone to share. It was uncomfortable. Definitely try tahini caesar salad. It'a a gem. I had high expectations for vegetable dishes like charred green beans or brussel sprouts, but they came short. Kebabs and main dishes need a lot of work. Please fix them. The best main dish we ordered was the braised short rib, which is not exactly a typical Middle Eastern or Mediterranean dish. Sorry to say that the grilled chicken, brisket kefta, chicken kefta, Moroccan chicken all were disappointing, dry, and flavorless... And finally, desserts: We tried the honey cake, sticky date cake and chocolate torte. We were very satisfied with all of them; definitely recommend all.
