Delicious Mediterranean slash Middle Eastern, with excellent cocktails to boot. Bartender can mix anything. Reservations are recommended and prices aren't cheap , but it's a perfect date spot .

Danielle B

Great spot for a date! Service is excellent, food is great and wine list is amazing. Can't recommend the sweet jewelled rice enough, it's literally good enough for dessert . House Labneh was also A+

Phil Watson

A delicious selection of Turkish and Middle Eastern-inspired dishes. The sujuk pide and the fried chicken are delicious, and the cocktails are well-crafted with flavors of rose , anise , etc.

Toronto Andrew

The food was unbelievably good. Lots of great sharing plated. Beef tartar really stood out. Also get a punch bowl if you're with a group, delicious and fun.

Kittie Chan

Absolutely wonderful meal. The 1.5lb lamb was scrumptious! You take it on a small thin pita and wrap it with pickles , turnip , chillies and garlic sauce . The sweet jeweled rice was paired perfectly..

Chandana Kundu

Its definitely the perfect place for dating :) Black Truffle , the starter is awesome. Loved their braised lamb but its huge in portion. The best bet was Black Truffle Rice .dint like fried eggplant .

WiD

Literally every dish is just perfect. The flavors are unique and worth trying. Try the cauliflower side dish, eggplant kibba, and salmon .

Vandana

Lamb ribs , black truffle rice , eggplant fritters , fig salad , fried chicken , yogurt mousse = all wonderful. Black cod , fries = not the greatest. Lovely ambiance! Service nice but nothing extraordinary.

Jamie Sarner

Delicious Middle Eastern meals served in smaller plates so you can share. They offer lot of vegetarian friendly meals - I would recommend labneh (yogurt cheese ) & any of the desserts . Really yum! Read more

Fried eggplant is greasy but delicious. Always love the lamb (4 piece) and the tuna tartare . Mom loves dumplings and fries . Greens were ok.

It's been a long time since I've ordered 6 items at a restaurant and had them all come out great. Excellent. Will definitely be back
