   Only one server taking care of the entire restaurant. No one at hostess stand to greet reservations. Food was cold, unauthentic, and not homemade. Would not eat there again, and would not recommend to anyone looking for authentic cuisine.

   Good, very tasty, but not quite as exceptional as previous visit. Vegetarian sampler was good, but seemed like a smaller portion compared to last visit. Syrian fries are exceptional - truly a unique preparation - worth a trip to the restaurant in an of themselves.

   Fantastic food, great service, & lovely live music make this place a newer must try restaurant in the heart of Old Ellicott City. Every dish was excellent and plenty of food on the place for decent prices. We will be back. Thank you for a memorable Saturday night out with friends.

   The food and ambience were great! The service was not. Hopefully it was just an off night.

   We made 6:15 reservations for new years eve. When we arrived we were told they were closing at 7pm, and there was no table service-that we had to order at the counter and then carry our food upstairs. When I questioned why they would accept a 6;15 reservation when they were closing early, and not notify me- they employee looked at me and said "do what you want." Will never go here again.

    We went to this restaurant in Old Ellicott on a tour. The 3 of us are at this location to celebrate one of my friends birthdays. The food was wonderful and the owner who served us was incredible.
