So far we haven't gotten past the Hot and Cold Mezza along with salads. We had Hummus, along with Sujuk and Feta Fusion Rolls accompanied by the Fattoush salad. They were all delicious. Service was lovely and it was getting busy as we left as we were early diners. We are planning our next visit.

We ordered the fried kibbeh and kibbeh nayeh , hummus ,a pickles plate and olives with a side of cloud bread and the From the Land dinner for two as our main , all to split between three of us . The food was amazing . arrived quickly and was more than enough for the three of us to share . The entree came with two skewers of kefta, 2 skewers of grilled chicken tawok and 1 skewer of ribeye along with grilled vegetables (onion,tomatoe and Serrano pepper )and roasted potatoes sitting on the slightly spicy pita spread with tomatoe sauce . We didn't need to order the extra olives as our main came with both olives and pickles but they are so fresh that there weren't many left ! The restaurant began to fill up shortly after we arrived and the ambiance was fun and our experience was A-1. Would definitely recommend reservations on a Saturday night and earlier if you want a quieter dinner. We will be back!
