Came for an early dinner then enjoyed it very much. Great atmosphere and vibes, music was great and in tune with the cuisine. The Sultan dish was yummy except for slightly dry pork chops. Docked one star there. The Sunday special chicken dish was excellent and very flavorful, would recommend. Great spot, will be back!

Outside no good on the hot days, inside is small but intimate. My food came with everything overcooked and dry. Our waiter, Marcello, was so gracious, professional, and attentive, just great customer service. Adam made sure that our entire order was made over with love. The cocktails were amazing!! This was our first time here, I recommend it, and I will be returning to try more items on the menu!! I put the qr code there for all of you
