    Always a treat - truly a hidden gem in Nashville. Went for Valentine’s Day and we split a bottle of wine, the pork sausage pizza, and the lasagna special. The lasagna wasn’t my favorite, but the pizza was divine and we also got the delicious carrots as an appetizer. Will be back again and again.

    A one-of-a-kind culinary experience here in Nashville. Everything that we ordered was amazing; the endive and the donut dessert stood out the most to us. Such fun textures and stand-out flavors! And kudos to front of the house - service here was warm and inviting. Nailed all the cocktail recommendations and really made us felt like we were at a dinner party hosted by a good friend. Looking forward to coming back!

    The experience was really good. We went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I love Lebanese food but it was our first time trying a proper Lebanese Restaurant. Our server Michael was so amazing and took time to explain the Menu, patiently helping us with our queries. The freshly made fluffy Pitas were to die for. Best Falafels, Humus and Baba Ganush dips. We tried Cauliflower Baked Veggie option, which was good. Our favourite of the day was the Orange Pistachio Rose Cake. We don’t drink often to lapse on judgement on ordering the drinks 🙈 But, overall really good service and experience. Will comeback again! 🙋🏻‍♀️
