came here with my mom for a little night out on the town. i can’t say enough good things about the drinks. i had the cola cocktail (forget the actual name) and my mom got a fruity cocktail and they were some of the best drinks we’ve ever had. the baba ghanoush and fried artichokes are definitely must orders for appetizers. they were so delicious. i got the chicken shawarma. normally, i love shawarma, but it didn’t come as a shawarma sandwich wrap and also the potatoes weren’t my favorite. but the chicken is really tender and seasoned very well. i’d probably order it again without the potatoes. my mom got the chicken hummus and it was very delicious, i definitely would recommend that. our server was very kind and was always around if we needed anything. my mom and i sat on the patio, and the vibes were amazing. we had a reservation and showed up pretty early, but they had no problem seating us. would definitely recommend this place to a friend!

The service here wasn't the best. It could have been an off-night, but our experience was a very distracted and unresponsive staff. But outside of that, dinner was spectacular. The food here is really made with love. Everything on the Mezze Platter was beautiful. The Crispy Cauliflower was my particular favorite, served with a chimichurri sauce that simply exploded with flavor. And for an entree I highly recommend the Chicken Fatteh. It's extremely rich and complex and it just feels like so much care and attention went into crafting that dish.

Pleasant experience, attentive waitress, always such a great atmosphere. I had the ricotta pancakes, she had the breakfast tacos. The hummus and pickled veggies were so so good that I ordered one to go!

Amazing food, great atmosphere. Best brussell sprouts ever. One of my new favorites in Lawrence.
I recommend going with a friend or friends. This is an experience not a meal. The best food, the best servers, the best.

I love this place! Everything was perfect and so tasty. The mezze plate was amazing ,it reminded me of Izmir in Turkey. I’ll definitely come back here again with my Ouzo!
We came here on a whim for a bit of a celebration and were blown away by the quality of food, experience, and taste! We tried the Ultimate Culinaria Experience. Incredible bang for your buck with AMAZING food and drinks. We will be here again!!

My wife and I went out to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary, and picked this kind of randomly. Finding it was interesting because it's tucked away behind another business but once we did get there it was absolutely fantastic. The service was quick and attentive, and the food was absolutely amazing. The only downside to it was purely we couldn't save room for dessert because the mezze platter and chicken shawarma was just that bloody good. I'm looking forwards to the next special occasion we get out with!
Best Mediterranean food in all of Lawrence, possibly even in the 785. Atmosphere is so welcoming and comfortable, and the food is amazing.

A fresh take on Mediterranean food and thankfully the chef scored a hit across the full menu. The flavor was wonderful, the ingredients fresh and the food experience is one that I'll not soon forget.
It was noisy and seating was uncomfortable so probably not the best choice for a quiet long dining choice.

This is a great restaurant I enjoyed with my daughter. I found it off the beaten path when waits were too long along Mass Street. We saw this place and figured we would give it a shot. I'm glad we did. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and deserts. Everything was tasty and delicious. My old fashion was done to my standard. Can't recommend this place enough. My daughter keeps asking when I'm taking her back there.

We had been meaning to get to this place for a couple years. It was amazing. We had a reservation for 4:30 so we could catch Happy Hour. We ordered the Mezze Platter with a bottle of Cava. The food was fresh and perfectly seasoned. Excellent presentation. This will likely be a common ritual going forward.
Fabulous experience. Will definitely return!

This place passes the vibe check.
The venue is excellent—tucked away, cozy, and well-prepared.
The food is delicious and unique. I get the Short Rib Shawarma, she gets the Chicken Shawarma, and we share the House Hummus. No notes!
Bonus: Ask for the secret menu item. The waiter may say it doesn’t exist—but be persistent. It’s real. And it’s worth it.
