Beautiful decor and sensual atmosphere-almost transports you to a different country. The service was top notch. Our server Rosa was very attentive, friendly and helpful with making choices from the menu. She made the experience even better. The manager was also very attentive and made sure we were getting everything we wanted/needed in a timely manner. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to enjoy all of the food since I haven’t been to many Middle Eastern restaurants but I was wrong. I loved everything we ordered. Everything was delicious-well seasoned, beautifully presented and high quality. Some of our favorite choices were the beetroot salad, the honey burrata, the cheese rolls (haloumi cigars), the Bronzino, the chicken kebabs (shish tawouk skewers) the Dubai chocolate crunch bar and the Ashta Bil Asal ( milk cream with Arabic cotton candy). We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return. Highly recommend this restaurant! Valet is available and is added to your bill. Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, impeccable service. A+
