This is the 3rd time I’ve dined at Ammoora and I was not disappointed. Dining here is an amazing experience from the time you enter the restaurant and are greeted by the hostess. There were three of us and we ordered multiple appetizers, main courses and desserts. The starters included an order of hummus and warm pita bread. I have it’s the best hummus I’ve ever eaten. All the main courses were amazing. The most amazing was the fall of the bone short rib. I had the kofta kebabs I highly recommend. Our server was exceptional. Gigi was very professional and was extremely helpful explaining the menu. If you have a chance and want to try Syrian cuisine, look no further than Ammoora.

Cipriana is a restaurant that never disappoints. We have dined there at least 5 times in the last year. It is also a great place for a special occasion, such as a birthday. The sesame encrusted feta cheese and the cheese puffs are our favorite appetizers. This last visit we tried the flatbreads - I had the crab which was sooooo good and had ample amounts of lump crab. My husband had the lamb and beef flatbread which was also very good. And, their pistachio baklava is a must for anyone wanting a sweet desert!! Highly recommend Cipriana for wonderful food and service.
