    Food was fabulous - everything was unique, flavourful and beautifully presented. Service was just right - attentive when needed and left to converse when needed. Highly recommend!

    Fairouz can do no wrong. We went to a different restaurant prior and wanted to leave so bad, and we were glad to get this reservation within 15 mins of checking the app to book it. Here’s to making a last minute decision for my birthday dinner. The meat platter was amazing, quick to bring to the table. An intimate ambiance for a date night, and great Arabi playlist of course

    Food was good, not spectacular. The Pides and Dips are great, everything else was average. Service was below par, our server forgot to bring multiple things and took forever to circle back to our table, even after the restaurant had quieted down. For the value of fine dining, the overall experience left wanting.

    Great cozy place with lovely menu! Staff attentive to our nut allergy. Lamb Skewers and Roasted Chicken with Middle Eastern compliments were excellent. We will return!

    Limited menu and expensive, not so tasty Med food. Had Labene and Chicken and both below par comparing to a simple traditional Med food restaurant. Dark setting, however friendly staff.
