    Stunning interior. The salatim platter was very flavorful and a great appetizer. The chicken kebab was amazing, juicy, and flavorful. The complementary tea was nice. Would 100% dine here again. Great food, great ambiance.

    The food is delicious and the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. But the three times I have been there the service was subpar and took a long time to get orders in.

    Loved this place! The food and ambience are incredible. Only thing that can improve is the lighting. It’s pretty dark which i understand is for ambience but we could hardly read the menu lol. Other than that, 10/10 loved!

    Don’t take any of the late reservations. 9:30p was the only time we could get a reservation…and by the time they sat us, and finally greeted we were told the kitchen was closing and we had 5min to get everything in. Ambience & food were great, but maybe don’t take late reservations or at least make sure that’s communicated prior.

    Everything was great except for the check-in process. The front area was very crowded with no designated waiting space, and they seated a group that arrived much later than us before we were seated. Our server was attentive, but the timing of the meal could use improvement. Drinks arrived after the appetizers, and while they encourage ordering everything at once, our entrées were brought out just five minutes after the appetizers.
