We had a brilliant experience. Me and my wife were there for a date night. We tried their "Silk Road Journey Experience". It started with their spreads. The Muhamara, Beet Mutabal and the Baba Ghanouj are worthy of a special mention. Then we had our Mezze. We tried the Mousakhan Chicken Rolls and the Kebbet Karaz. Both of them were amazing. We went towards the entree and we tried the Kebab Antabli and the Shish Tawouk. The Shisk Tawouk was outstanding. For the drinks we tried the Araks. This was our first time and I must say we will be drinking Arak for a while. It was a really good experience.

Food and drinks were AWESOME! For the 3 of us we bought a Crab Pretzel appetizer and a Combo platter. Service was very good but no serving utensils were provided for our shared side dishes that came with the Combo platter. Since we are family we used our personal utensils but this really should not happen.

I went to Bygone for my birthday and I loved it. I will definitely be back. I had the chicken breast, mac and cheese, puree mash potatoes, & the Bygone Buck for a drink ( Moscow mule ). Everything was 10/10 and our waiter was amazing. His drink and menu recommendations were spot on. I believe his name was KC ( not 100% sure ). The restaurant is also BEAUTIFUL and amazing for pictures. I will be back for sure ❤️.
