My mouth is watering just thinking of the meal we had. Kebabs, with Kunefe for dessert. The waitstaff is so friendly -- they seem happy to be there, and so was I!

Our food was delicious. However, we had a reservation, and were first seated upstairs, as the downstairs was full. We were the only people upstairs, and after a good 5 minutes of no attention, my husband went downstairs to check. We were then able to be seated downstairs. We waited again, ordered wine and dinner, and waited again. The wine came with our dinner, not what we were expecting (we enjoy sipping our wine while we wait for our order). The server seemed to recognize the error when our food was served, and stated he thought we would have wanted our wine with our food. Not sure how soon we will go again.

Fabulous feel, food and service. Perfect meal on a snowy winter night. Everything was a hit! Ordered large mezze platter for 5 and each had entrees. Two went home with leftovers. Will go back again!
