    This is the third time I've eaten here in the last few months and it was outstanding, as usual! While we didn't love where they seated us (even though we had made reservations over a month in advance - but now I know what to ask for in the reservation), the food and service were great. The roasted beet hummus, muttabal and fresh-from- the-oven pitas were probably our favorites, but everything was great. Last time I came here, I ordered the roasted beets salad with grilled salmon (also amazing). We also tried two desserts, the knafeh and osmalieh ice cream, both were excellent...and they went great together! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    Really great restaurant, we now have so many favorite dishes here! If you think you don't like vegetables, you have to come try Mayfield - it is amazing what they can do with carrots or cabbage or sweet potatoes! And their fried chicken is the best!
