    It started as not good as no one was there to seat us despite a reservation , we called through the kitchen as we see people there . It took 15 minutes before someone came to the hostess table . It was a good thing that the good was superb delicious . The lamb chop was well cook and tasty. The filled dates salad was so good as well . And the free bread love it

    Amazing experience overall. The service was very quick and the staff made excellent recommendations. The grilled eggplant was our favorite dip. Our group ordered the lamb shank, beyti special and Mediterranean Sea bass and everyone was very happy with their choices. There were also vegan options for one in our party. We will be back, hopefully on a night it’s not raining so we can sit in the patio.
