It was our first visit to this restaurant. The hostess greeted us all promptly along with the chef/owner! Our waiter Robert explained the special and answered our menu questions. The soup, falafel and delicious dinners were fabulous. Also delivered to our table along with the chef. Nice, personal touch. We were all very pleased with our meals and agreed we will be back. Thank you for a lovely evening of dining.

"I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. Everyone loved the appetizers. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable." The Baklava was so delicious.

This is a place that you must try. The food and service were outstanding. Everything we ordered was "5" star. The only issue was the noise level. Difficult at times to carry on a conversation. To be fair, we were there when the restaurant was full (and it is a fairly small space). We definitely will go back when we have guests in town!!
