This place is really good. Great quality of food. Very good flavor. Good atmosphere. I love it! On top of that, everyone is always very friendly. Highly recommend!

This place is wonderful! The servers are so kind and they really make you feel welcome. The food is delicious, of course! I like everything they make but the buticha (a bit like hummus) and the mushroom tibs are some of my favorites.
