    We had an amazing time at dinner. Everything was delicious and super flavorful. It's rare for my big family to agree on food but everyone enjoyed it. They were very flexible with my reservation as I had a last minute issue and were able to accommodate us at a later time. The servers were very nice and the owner was extremely helpful. I would definitely come back!

    I highly recommend this restaurant. We shared the mantu and the Bholani with sweet and tasty butternut squash as appetizers. I had the veal qorma and my husband had the shrimp kabobs. Both were incredible. The veal was easily able to be cut with a butter knife. The shrimp was flavorful and cooked perfectly. You can choose from three different kinds of rice. The rice that we chose went well with each entree and it was flavored well.

    Al the experience was really good. They receive you with a lentil soup and bread, both are really good, the rice is also included with the entrees, we ordered kabobs, beef and chicken, and another dish which forgot the name but was veal meat and also very good, last a dessert, which is stuffed with cheese and you know what, it was really good, the only but was that espresso machine was broken and the alternative, Turkish coffee was not good as we expected.
