Recommend the haloumi warm appetizer, the fattoush, chicken shwarma. Will be back to try more. Seasoning of our dishes was excellent, Good neighborhood spot, although prices are a just bit high for it to be a frequent option

It was a gorgeous October day and we ate outside--slightly noisy on the street. But the food was great and came quickly. We had haloumi and fermented cheese appetizers. My lamb chops were the best I've ever had--tender and seasoned so well. Loved them.
MeJanaResponded on 2 November 2024
Hello, Carol! Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted you enjoyed dining outside and that the food, especially the lamb chops, made such an impression. It's wonderful to hear the halloumi and fermented cheese appetizers were a hit too. We look forward to welcoming you back for more great meals—hopefully on another beautiful day! Mejana Team
