I ordered the lamb, Jim got the chicken. Both were excellent. The baklava was very good as well. The hummus was the BEST i ever had ! Atmosphere was casual and relaxed. 3 small deuces on the sidewalk were full, so we sat inside. Most relaxed and enjoyable dinner i have had in NYC in ages. Thanks Sammy. See you soon.
