Wow, where do I begin? From the time my husband and I walked in, to the time we walked out, the experience was “chefs kiss”. The staff, the beautiful decor, the music, the food, the dessert was amazing! This is our new hidden gem! We will definitely be back this weekend to watch the belly dancers! Oh and our waiter gifted me with a beautiful belly dancing scarf for my waist!! What an experience! Oh, last but not least… THE ROBOT delivers your food!! I’m speechless…. 10/10

Excellent location for a celebration. Best drinks around - though the beer menu could be expanded! Adequate selection of wines… but that’s all drinks! You go there for the FOOD… and GOOD it is. Not high brow but a use of spices that is tantalizing without tongue-numbing as some places. The best evidence is the subtle smoke flavor of the Baba Ganousch…the BEST! Only fault was we were not forewarned of the 3% surcharge on using credit; had we known we would have brought cash… next time, for sure. ;-)
