Amazing food with great flavors. I've never had a dish here I didn't like. Recommend the Meze platter to experience a range of things. Recommend the Lebanese wine, red or white. The deserts are a must.

What a wonderful New Year’s Eve experience! The appetizer trio was excellent, particularly the spinach and goat cheese in phyllo. The butternut squash soup was delicately flavored with a nice hint of spice. My swordfish skewers were cooked to perfection, and the accompanying rice pilaf was a revelation. But my wife swore that her lamb and chickpea pasta was even better. The baklava squares with warm honey poured over them were sent from heaven. Our server, Kim, was fantastic, and the overall hospitality and service were stellar.

Make sure to try the lamb chops at this restaurant! Their brunch is fantastic, and the grilled swordfish is also delicious.

The food is excellent, the staff is fantastic, but the parking situation could be better. Despite this, it hasn’t deterred us from coming back multiple times. As for parking, there are very few spots near the restaurant, so I had to use a lot located in the alley behind it.

The food was mediocre at best, especially if you've experienced a great Turkish restaurant. There was only one server for the entire restaurant, and I only saw them about three times during our visit. Additionally, an automatic gratuity was added to the bill, even though we were a small party.
