This place was the best! We arrived for my birthday dinner early. Atmosphere was relaxing with beautiful music. Everything they brought out was juicy and tender, cooked perfectly Grace and Dora were checking on us very often. Thank you so much for the delicious dinner.

The service is fairly poor. They don't care to explain choices, rush you to order, and add 3% to all prices to justify their wage increase. Why? The prices are already very high. Still not enough? Raise them even more but don't make it look like you are begging for higher wages from me. Noise is terrible, nobody can hear anything. They bring you a check while you are still eating. Why? maybe they want you out of there. Who knows. The food is not prepared well, it does not taste well. I admit, that Baba Ganouch appetizer tasted well, but the main course didn't. There is nothing good I have to say about this restaurant. Unfortunately, they represent growing trend toward lower value and higher prices in Silicon Valley. And there is nothing to be done about it.

It was extremely busy during Tuesday lunch time. We waited 30 mins for our meals. Waitress told us it's less busy on Mon & Fri. Maybe better time to visit during it's less busy.
