Loved the food, especially the chicken kabob, salmon, hummus and salads. They were very accommodating when we asked to change the preparation of one of our entrees.

Food was ok. However the service was terrible. There was only one person managing and serving the entire floor. It would take 30 mins for him to get to our table each time. The final order of a platter took over 30 mins to arrive. He was doing the best he can and I would give this person 5 stars for himself. But the whole experience was not good at all. The bartender wasn't there either so we couldn't put the beverage orders we wanted- so no booze at all.

Underwhelming. One server attending to all tables. Rushed and overwhelmed. Food was ok. Service un attentive. We had to clean the table ourselves and put plates away.
