    Great food... very busy which is why the service was a little slow.. the noise level is ridiculous. Kids screaming and parents doing nothing! With that said, I still love the food and will return.

    Food was great, restaurant ambience is really nice. Our waiter was attentive and did not make us feel rushed even though the restaurant was very busy.

    We had reservations for 7:00 pm , when we arrived they told us our table will be ready in 5-7 mins, it took almost 30 mins- restaurant was fully booked snd waiters were a little forgettable.

    Great Middle Eastern food. The restaurant is BYOB. Meal starts with a complimentary bowl of green olives and Turkish flat bread. Appetizer portions are large enough for 3-4 people. My wife and I opted for the Smoked Eggplant Salad this time. It was fresh and delicious. For entrees she ordered the Lamb Chops and I ordered the Adana Kabob which is ground lamb mixed with spices and grilled on skewers. Most of the dishes are accompanied with rice pilaf, a salad, grilled tomato and a grilled hot pepper (very hot). They are accompanied by two dipping sauces. One is a mild sauce, similar to a tzatziki sauce, and the other is a red hot sauce. The entrees were delicious, the portions were large, and the meat was perfectly grilled.
