We appreciated it but after sitting the restaurant ended up getting packed, no outdoor option and we were trapped with hookah smoke. Having sat down and ordered we packed up our food quickly and left. We really should have left sooner due to the capacity of the restaurant and lack of ventilation from the smokers considering we’re in the middle of a pandemic. I thought restaurants were meant to operate indoors at a reduced capacity. Food was good and servers were friendly but disappointed in how they’re managing during a pandemic.

I 've called prior to going last night and was told over the phone 2x that we can not reserve a table for TWO (understandable)...We finally get to the restaurant and a hostess (or whatever), goes to seat us and we are passing all these TWO SEATER TABLES, just to be placed at the smallest table squeezed next to another couple (its COVID going on). I said Wow this is wayyyy

A very special shoutout to Shadi, his attention to detail was phenomenal and he really went above and beyond to make sure our table of 14 was taken care of. We ordered mix grill andappetizers and three hookahs. Every single thing we ordered was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. The chicken kabobs and meat inparticular were spectacularly juicy and the spices perfectly complemented the meat. The fattoush salad was crispy, fresh, andhad just the right amount of flavor. The hookah was something ELSE. We asked what was their specialty and the gentleman said Ican make you a mix . I don 't know what the mix was but it was the most enjoyable hookah I have had in years. Honestly, thisplace is a gem and well worth the trip from Brooklyn to get there. We recommend Antika Grill to anyone looking to have a goodtime, and we will be back. Thank you to the entire crew and Shadi again for making our first experience very memorable.
