My family met up and had the most delicious meal. The steaks were perfectly cooked, the Winter Citrus Burrata was a table favorite, the brussel sprouts impressed my son and myself, the waiter was beyond friendly and we were attended to frequently but not enough to be too much. A great night!

Great middle eastern style food. Some options I expected were not on the menu like gyro or saffron basmati rice but what we did order were great traditional dishes.
