I would give it 5 stars if possible.

The wait staff really let this place down. When we asked for advice about the menu he made us feel like we were slowing him down, then when we ordered 5 meze plus bread and wine he seemed annoyed we didn’t order the pasta dish or any mains that were more expensive. We felt a little uncomfortable throughout our meal because of the way the waiter interacted with us. Then when going to pay, we were asked how much we wanted to tip and when we declined (due to poor service) they scoffed and made a rude remark about our nationality.

They offer a variety of vegan mezze options, and we tried a selection of 5 which was more than enough for 2 people. They also have a dish of the day, which is occasionally vegan. The restaurant only accommodates 6 to 16 people every 30 minutes, so it's important to make a reservation. One thing to note is that this restaurant allows dogs.

You can easily fill up on just a selection of appetizers, despite what the waiter might suggest. Be sure to make a reservation ahead of time if you want to enjoy live music on some evenings!

The dishes are exceptional against all standards, have no sodium, and are created by a impressively passionate kitchen. Although the larger dishes had few vegan options, the wide variety of vegan meze options left us very full. A different spin on the fresh Greek cuisine, Candouni seemed more thoughtful in its execution and used authentic, perhaps ancient, techniques to provide something a dining experience that was truly spectacular.
