    I was super excited to try this restaurant. My friends asked to book a place because I have challenges with allergies. Usually middle eastern Mediterranean food is pretty safe except for nuts. When I got to order the manager brings up an allergy chart that I think is awesome to keep their clients safe. However everything had soybean oil. I was down to one side dish without the rice because that’s the only oil they use to cook. My disappointment in this particular restaurant cuisine is to stay true to the roots of using olive oil or another none soy based. I understand it for the frying part as most everyone uses it due to cost and high index of heat. But in your overall dishes, even the hummus and eggplant were made with soybean oil, in my experience is not acceptable. Overall service was great, my friends said the food tasted good.

    We arrived on time and were promptly greeted and shown to our table. Dylan was our server and he was very polite, friendly and professional. He explained the menu and the food and made some recommendations. The lunch portions were perfect and hot. The lamb dishes were delicious! We’ll be back!

    Food tasted great but pretty overpriced. Got the shepherds salad which was just a combination of raw mixed veggies in dressing. Was tasty but not for over $20 😅 our server was great and the inside is cute!
