The service was great and the staff were very attentive and explained the dishes when we were ordering. The food tasted exceptional but the dips and the bread were my favouritepart. The prices were on a big on the higher side but the quality of food and service makes its all worth it. We will definitelybe back here soon.

Absolutely overjoyed with everything. My only comment would be to do something about yourportions. The hummus wasn't enough for one person. The adna was too pricey for one person only. So if you were not sharing thiscould get pricey quickly. Also the dessert and Turkish coffee are out of this world. Absolutely divine. Thanks for giving us ataste of the middle east. Am a fan! Taking one star off because of the prices only but everything else is top notch.

Had brunch on the beautiful patio. Unlimited make your own mimosas with several juice options and you pick one choice from each course. Everything was excellent and we left absolutely stuffed. The patio has a retractable cover which they openedwhen the sun became too much. You are given 90 minutes per reservation which was more than enough time to fully enjoy the meal.It is pricey, but worth it for the experience and an occasional splurge.

The fried cod fish looked amazing but didn't have much flavor. The Manti had meat in it the size of a sparkle. Could only taste thedumpling. The lahmajun was amazing and so was the ribs appetizer. If they bring some really fresh bread made in house that wouldtake this place to a whole new level! Overall good food. ????
