This was a good meal! I enjoyed the baba ghanoush, dumpling appetizer, and Doner. Good prices as well. Server was a little awkward and did not do a great job at explaining the menu when we asked for recommendations, and he also did partially spill a drink on my lap/table. The restaurant is pretty dark but still had energy. Good for families, groups, or a date night.

Was looking for a good mediterranean/Turkish restaurant in the area. This was a great find!!! My son has put this as the top of his list of places to eat in Decatur GA area. Food was fantastic and waiter was fabulous. Don't forget the desserts - what a way to top off the meal. Definitely will go here again when visiting my son.

The food and service was first class. Even the chef came out to say hi half way into the meal. Their mezes were authentic and exceptionally fresh. The hot feta cheese rolls were tasty and perfect. For desert I recommend the Konafa. It is by far the best in Atlanta, however, you need to order it early since it takes 15 min to prepare. Well worth the wait!

Food was absolutely delicious! Lots of attractive options from which to choose. Our server was highly knowledgeable and pleasant although not available enough (we didn’t have a chance to order our wine until midway through our meals). I’d absolutely go again.
