I love Mediterranean food and this place is fantastic! Every dish we tried was amazing and their whiskey sour is consistently excellent and never disappoints. I’ve returned several times, and the food quality is always so good. But it’s not ideal for date nights, as most evenings feel like team events with large groups, making it quite loud and crowded

Our waiter for the Thanksgiving prix-fixe menu, forgot about us. He came to the table and asked us if we wanted still or sparkling water. We order sparkling and tea, he told us that he can't drink coffee anymore due to heart palpitations and his new ADHD meds, and then we proceeded to sit and watch him flirt about, taking orders from other tables, including tables that arrived 30 minutes after our reservation time. I'm a waiter, so I get what's it's like to be “in the weeds” as a server. So after finally getting his attention again after almost an hour, he approached us and said, “have we decided?” without so much as a word of apology or explanation. To add to the insanity that was that experience, or fixed-price meal was somehow fixed at a higher price than the $85 per person it advertised. Not wanting to spend another minute there, I just paid the $284 and left grateful to have Thanksgiving food with no dishes to do. The food was tasty and I'd definitely like to go back and try it under normal circumstances, but this was one of the strangest dining experiences either of us had ever participated in.

Their happy hour food is good, but the waiter seemed intimidated when I mentioned gluten free even though he pointed out nicely.

Awesome meal, and great relaxing ambiance. Incredible / memorable service from Dino. Highly recommend the barcha hummus, the duck leg tahdig, and the pistachio tiramisu. Delicious. Thanks Team Barcha (and Dino) for a great evening!

The Pathway mocktail - 5/5 explosion of flavor

Barcha honey hummus - 5/5 pita bread was hot and buttery, halloumi cheese drizzled in honey was amazing. Friend said, why do people eat other things when we have hummus?

Beef dumplings - 3/5 good but forgettable

Seafood paella - 1/5 SKIP this is just a plate of bland oily noodles with seafood toppings. Friend says it tastes like saffron

Pistachio tiramisu - 4/5 not too sweet, but sugar still overpowers any coffee and rum flavors

Came here for team lunch around 15 people. Reservation requires deposit. Lovely space. Cute seats, good for short people. Food came out an hour after we sat down.

Went there for a happy hour with my team. The staff was very friendly and checking on us constantly to make sure we had drinks and food at all times.

Excellent lamb and beef mix for sandwich. No cheap and noisy. A little more lunch variety would be nice.

I ordered the Turkish Spiced Lamb & Beef Shawarma with potatoes, and it was delicious! The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. Service was a bit slow this time, and it’s on the pricier side for a sandwich and side, but the flavor made it worth it. On my prior visit, we dined inside and service was a bit faster. Pictures are from September visit--Chicken Shawarma and Grilled Steak Kabob.

We came on a Saturday night at 5:45 pm. We were the first ones there and it was perfect. We found parking right outside the restaurant and we asked to be seated in a quiet place, which was all the way to the back. For the next 1-1/2 hours we enjoyed a quiet meal. It really started picking up right when we left. Our waiter was attentive and described each dish in detail and the meal was wonderful! This was my 2nd time here and I'll be returning the next time I'm in town.

Delicious food, perfect service. Terraces are heated and blankets. Inside a lot of noice maybe due to acoustical issues. Some textile on the floor-wall would help.

The food was pleasantly tasteful and the service was very good. The interior is a wonderful indoor open kitchen with lots of smoke and great cooking to witness. A great place for some Mediterranean food downtown.
