Stepping into this culinary haven felt like entering a world where every detail was orchestrated to perfection. From the moment we arrived with our friends, the restaurant's ambiance embraced us—an exquisite balance of sophistication and warmth, with softly glowing lights and elegantly set tables whispering promises of an unforgettable evening. The service was impeccable, a masterclass in attentiveness without intrusion. Every need was anticipated, every question answered with genuine enthusiasm. The staff moved with a choreography that was as seamless as it was impressive, making us feel both pampered and welcomed. And then, the food of Mediterranean flavours. Oh, the food! Each dish was a revelation—a symphony of flavors that surprised and delighted at every turn. The creativity and precision that went into each plate were nothing short of artistry. From the first bite to the last, we were entranced by layers of flavor that unfolded like a story, with unexpected notes and harmonious pairings that left us in awe.

The entire experience was transcendent, a celebration of culinary brilliance that we will remember and rave about for a long time to come. A true gem that sets the standard for excellence.

Wonderful experience for my boyfriends birthday. The food was delicious! We ordered the rack of lamb in which was cooked to perfection at medium rare. Our waitress kept our dinner paced properly, checked in appropriately and truly enhanced our dining experience and we will be back!

We have been going to this restaurant for years and it never disappoints us. The pita was hot and fresh, we love the zatar and olive oil dip. The camel wings were hot and delicious the salads crisp and not over dressed. The lentil soup is flavorful and filling. One of my kids enjoyed the chicken curry and the other the tabouleh salad and taverna salad with chicken, my husbands lamb kabob was cooked just right. There were no leftovers! The service was attentive and not intrusive . We will continue to enjoy meals there for as long as they remain in woodley park

Been a fan of this restaurant (this and other locations) for over 30 years. Never disappoints with quality and quantity of food for the price.

This is an old favorite for us. The food is always great and so is the service. The only problem was that they were out of several dishes that we tried to order. Still, they were accommodating and pleasant.
