For the price there are better Mediterranean options in NYC. But for a light-filled, pleasant place to grab a bite or drink with friends near Pennsylvania Station, it is excellent. The pita is puffed and thinner than most. Baba deliciously smokey but a small portion. Salads nothing special. Lamb dishes were delicious. Overall a good choice.

Hostess was nice and service was good. I just realized that the gratuity was added and we also gave the hostess gratuity without realizing it was added to the bill and it was only 3 people. That is not right. Very upset that your establishment would add gratuity when it was only three people. I will not be visiting any time soon.
