    The staff were so friendly! We were able to be seated 30 minutes before our reservation which got us out of the rain. They went above and beyond to include a birthday surprise for my spouse at the end of our meal. Oh, and the food was delicious! The grilled chicken fell right off the bone and the meat samboosa and hummus were great, too. Overall, great care was taken of us.

    The food is excellent! I've been a long time customer. The service was off tonight. Customers that arrived 15 minutes after us were being served before us, breakdown in communication about what we ordered and some of the servers were hustling while others were chatting with each other & looking at their phones despite a busy dining room with others, including us, waiting quite awhile to have our plates cleared and water refilled.

    Everything was excellent and our waitress was very attentive. It was a special night as celebrating an anniversary. I chose this restaurant as my 91 yr old mum had never been here. She loved it as much as much as me and my husband! Lamb shank, moussaka and stuffed cabbage all delicious!
