    Service attentive, not proactive. Stuffed grape leaves divine, also rice with slivered almonds. Enjoyable not divine.

    The baba ganoush is the best we’ve had. The pita was amazing. Also loved the non-alcohol options of cocktails. It was a great option for “dry January “.

    Overall disappointing. Sloppy service, unexciting food presented in an unimaginative way. Airport dining lounge vibe. Won’t be going back for any reason.

    Enjoyed our evening with friends - shared some great dips, warm pita, cocktails and delicious meals. We had the chicken artichoke and chicken schwarma. Both were flavorful and very tender. Service was just ok - they may have been short staffed that evening because our waiter seemed flustered and rushing around. Wasn’t horrible but also wasn’t great.
    SittiResponded on 1 January 2025
    Hey Mimi, thanks a bunch for your review. You had two of my favvvs - Chicken artichoke and Chicken Shawarma, so delicious! So happy to hear that you enjoy them just as much as I do. Will share your review with our kitchen staff, put some smiles on their faces for a job well done. Sincerest apologies for the service. Will share your feedback with servers. Your review makes us aware of areas we can improve in. So sorry to hear that your experience was not the best all around. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you soon!
