Very good breakfast . Try this plate of falafel , hummus and labnah yummmmy. Also shakshouka is good. From appetizers the cheese puff pastry (forgot its name) is yumm.

Morgan McKee

Very much enjoyed! Bf demolished the pistachio hummus . We had Brussels (skip), cauliflower (yum), chicken kabob (my fav) and lamb (some of the best we’ve had). Attentive service to top it off ????????

Rewan Parti

Order lamb kebab,chicken shawarma , pork kebab and feta dip ! They have great vegetarian options . Order vegetarian paella and crispy cauliflower . Excellent cocktails .

Elisa

Butternut squash dip was very delicious. Shawarma was also very good. Lovely outdoor dining vibe, but indoor is nice as well . Sit near the greenhouse-y back area for some natural lighting .

Alexandra Faria

Great restaurant ! The ambiance is great ( not too loud and dark lighting), plus the food is amazing. Chicken Shwarma is a must have ! Only down side is that the red wine selection is very limited.

Tiffany Hui

friendly staff . food items were Grape Leaves , Lamb Merguez , and Za'atar fries and they were so tasty. they offer portable phone chargers to borrow but they ask to have a credit card to hold.

Carol

The place is bigger than you think. Service is very fast but a rsvp is advised. Food tastes great! I recommend the phyllo nest for brunch . No espresso drinks available

Absolutely one of the best Mediterranean restaurant , chicken shawarma is must , they have a special Coca Cola which I don’t like it ????,SURE i will come back ????

Rheya Shano

Everything that we got here was really delicious! We shared the yellow lentil dip , falafel , shakshuka , and the olive oil cake . The pita was super warm and fresh, and the coffee was great as well !

John Cline

Their baklava cinnamon rolls are an interesting twist for brunch , with the sesame halva topping adding a unique spin to a delicious roll.

Julia Kaplan

Start with any of the housemade dips (tzatziki was delicious) and the halloumi . Definitely talk to the servers and get recommendations for the rest of your meal! Really friendly & warm atmosphere.

This place was packed on a random Tuesday night and I could tell why... the Mediterranean food was so amazing - every app and mezze/dip were yuuuum, but the perfectly seasoned meat had small portions!

Megan Güntaş

Everything was amazing. Great music/atmosphere. Amazing cocktails , I had the Ankara and my friend had the Tunis. Good portion sizes. All the food we ordered was perfect. So delicious!

Honghui Yu

Delicious Mediterranean food with plenty of vegetarian options . Dips and kebabs are especially popular. Great place for a group dinner as they have a number of large tables.

Dina Rughani

The labne, fried haloumi , peach tomato salad , peppers , and lamb kefte were all delicious. Would like to try other items on the menu

You must get the chicken shawarma...and the Za’atar fries are pretty good too.

Chase Mathew

The shakshouka and chicken shwarma are fantastic. Save room and get the chocolate babka . It's the best Babka I've ever had!

Nectar Sleep

The feta dip here is amazing. I highly recommend trying it at this place! The atmosphere is very festive and the service is good also.

Josh Brambir

Start with hummus , next the chicken shawarma , finish with sesame gelato . Thank me later????

Fried haloumi , pistachio dip are musts. red pepper dip and Cauliflower really good. Venison skewer > lamb . Not a bad dish in sight.

Lauren Docktor

Mushroom paella’s a must! Crispy and will make you forget it’s just veggies .

Marianaa Worrall

Amazing place. The fried halloumi , grilled apricots , and hummus are a must.

Lively spot! The haloumi and whipped feta are top picks. For vegetarians , the mujadara is the right choice.

Kim Pham

If they’re packed, grab a seat at the bar . The kebabs are super tasty!

Delicious! Amazing ambience. I did like the small platters more than the mains - the meze and salads are great!
