    We love fattosh salads and their's was the best we have ever had. Everything was fresh and presented as if photographed for a cookbook. It was a very pleasing experience. We saw there meat dishes being served and was amazed at the offerings and presentation also.

    Great food, although a bit pricey. Be careful with the check: they automatically include 20% gratuity! A bit sneaky, in my view

    The overall experience here was excellent. We went here for Valentine’s Day. There was a band playing smooth jazz in the entryway, but it was not excessively loud. I got the chicken shawarma and crushed lentil soup which were both to die for. My partner ordered the falafel and shrimp linguine which were also both excellent. The wait staff was a little less attentive than one would think for the number of people that were dining, but it was not a significant problem. The ambience was beautiful and romantic, and the prices were not exceptionally high given the quality of food and the atmosphere.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant for Valentine’s Day with my wife. It was our first time visiting, and we were not disappointed. The food was 7 1/2 out of 10 but The ambiance was perfect, and the overall atmosphere made for a memorable evening. The service was great, and everything exceeded our expectations. Most importantly, my wife was happy, which made the night even better. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning!

    Best chicken cream chop you will find! Hummus is outstanding as well (recommend adding it to your cream chop sandwich). Friend had the crushed lentil soup and he loved that too. Place is a hidden gem downtown!
