Amazing date night spot. My partner an I have been wanting to try it out for a while. We were eager to order all this food and thankfully the server mentioned it was way too much so we listened to her advise which was absolutely perfect. Portions are very generous and everything was exceptional, we tried the falafel, classic hummus and Parallel salad, all amazing! as well as all of the staff was very friendly.
