Ate here with friends and family. It’s new at this location and not very busy yet. My husband and I really enjoyed the food in northern Greece and Anatolia when we visited there last spring. This is described as central Asian food on their website and the meat stews on the menu were similar to dishes we had in those regions. There were a lot of menu choices including stroganoff and perogies. Large tables are good for groups. I would definitely go back. We went to a movie after and the location is convenient with lots of parking nearby.

I had the pleasure of dining at Cupitol, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with elegant décor that set the perfect tone for the evening. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout the meal. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The meatballs were standout favorites—perfectly cooked and seasoned. The dessert selection was equally impressive, and the Skillet cookie was a must-try! The attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every aspect of the meal. It’s clear the team takes pride in their craft. Overall, Cupitol is a true gem, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I can’t wait to return!
