The entire staff is warm and friendly, providing detailed explanations if you're a first-time visitor. The highlight, though, is the owner, Nicola. He brings an incredible energy, dancing and singing while even pouring wine from his head! This guy truly loves life, which enhances the overall experience. And I have to mention the belly dancer—she was fantastic! Nicola got all the guests up to dance, creating an unforgettable memory. This is an experience you absolutely shouldn't miss!

Since it was a sizable group, we all opted for the family style dinner where we were able to sample lots of things for only $17.95. You can then re-order whatever dish and however often you want. There were a few salad selections (tabbouleh, the Mediterranean , meat choices (chicken a la beef, lemon chicken , grape leaves, falafel, artichoke hearts, hummus, baba ghanoush, chicken Florentine, and some others I can't remember. The owner was superbly friendly and was so adorb doing his balancing act (balancing stuff on his head while he shakes his body . He also threw in free soft drinks and dessert for our table since it was a first visit for some of us. The bday boy of the group *ahem Elijah* got a free drink and dance from Nicola as well. : There was also a belly dancer that came later in the evening. After she left, music was then turned on and Nicola made everyone dance. It was the cupid shuffle and such songs. Nicola's has its own parking lot which spills over to the side and back of the building as well. So in summary, the food and serve (especially this was def on par and great! Nicola made everyone feel welcomed and like family.
