   Dining here was a blast. The owner and staff are extraordinarily engaging, warm, friendly and attentive. The food was delicious...fresh and creative. The portions are smaller than average for American standards and the dining space is small.. A true gem!!! We will be back.

   Food is delicious ! Staff is gracious. This restaurant has a very small kitchen. Be prepared to wait.

   Our first time. A party of 2 we were seated at a table that was maybe 24" round. Good that we are not big eaters for it was a little tight and the tables in general are tightly packed-in. A nice feature is the chilled glassware for your BYOB fare. The owner/waiter was extremely friendly, genuinely and or humorously interacting with diners. The seating does feel a little cramped if that is something that would bother you. We had a Mezze sampler platter and an order of grilled Shrimp cabobs. Everything was quite yummy and for us that was enough food. If a group of 4, I would recommend the large Mezze platter but for two medium was fine. Definitely need a reservation. More than 4 will be difficult and more than 6 near impossible. Asked if we wanted desert we declined. The owner/waiter said the Baklava was the best in the world. Amused and I love the stuff but try not to eat it for waistline reasons, I said we would take an order to go. When it shortly arrived to the table he said: compliments of the house and gave the check without baklava charge; the check is computerized. Very efficient. We were each given a 2" square, diamond shaped actually, serving. Once home, we sample one piece. Very light and flakey, super flavorful nuts, and not smothered in honey. The latter mostly only in the base crust. Not sure about best in the World but for sure it was a worthy contender, especially if heavily honey-socked versions are less to your liking. We will go again, probably with another couple so as to have a bit larger table space. Anxious to try the goat Tanjine next time. G

   The food was delicious, though the portions are smaller than average for American standards and the dining space is extremely small.

   They overbooked reservations and we ended up waiting outside for over an hour. There were more than a dozen people waiting outside who had reservations. No apology or acknowledgement that we were waiting outside in the cold for a long period of time. A complete waste of time! Ended up leaving and not eating here. The food and ambiance looked good but unfortunately our poor experience did not allow us to try anything. If you make a reservation on a busy night, keep in mind that you might not be able to get in the front door.

   We made reservations for Valentine's day. We arrived for our reservation at 6:45 and there was a line of 20+ with reservations for the same time. We left as the establishment was overbooked and did not address any of the patrons waiting in the cold. We left and went to Ekta instead.

    Awful experience. We had a reservation there for Valentine’s Day. When we showed up, there were groups of people still waiting for their reservations and the restaurant was completely full, not letting anyone into the restaurant. The hostess came out and said we can’t sit you for dinner, so we had to find a last minute reservation somewhere else for Valentine’s Day. I do not recommend going there.
