Two days later they were still talking about the food! Our server, Jake, was so accommodating and helpful with my allergies. He helped us pick out the perfect wine, too. Once again, a 10/10.

                                                            While the atmosphere and food is good, the prices are absolutely insane for food. A plate of carrots is $20! Chicken tagine is $58 or $53! The hummus and wine is really the only thing that isn’t exorbitant. Cocktails are reasonable too and good. Great service. I just can’t justify paying so much for a meal that is good, but not drop dead amazing.

                                                            Food was exceptional! Zaatar spiced chicken and chocolate bar for dessert were our absolute favorites but everything was delicious. We appreciated the great service from Ciera. What a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary!

                                                            We went to Ash’Kara for my birthday dinner. The food was incredible. The service was exceptional. Even the hostess, Samantha, went above and beyond in the information she provided. My friend has dietary restrictions and she knew so much about the menu it made it a no brainer to choose to have my birthday dinner here. The drinks are delicious, the food is well balanced and delicious! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to an incredible meal and experience!
