Great flavors, love the complimentary bread (fluffy and perfect temperature). the lamb dish was amazing although i think the yogurt to meat ratio was too high. The ambiance was good but a bit too cramped. Definitely get a reservation in advanced since this place is busy. overall will come back again.

My review is specifically about the restaurant's handling of reservations, as the food and service is otherwise fantastic. On a few dinner reservations, the restaurant has had my group wait for up to 10-15mins after arriving at our reservation time. This is normally fine. However, on our last visit we waited 40 plus minutes because a table was not freeing up. We were verbally offered complimentary drinks / appetizers by the manager, but the check ended up including the full meal price. The restaurant experience is otherwise great, yet waiting for a reserved dinner like this can completely ruin the evening. I was too exhausted by the end of dinner to argue about complimentary drinks. As much as I love the food, I'd be hesitant to return given this entire experience. At the very least, I would factor in this unreliability with reservations.

A cozy Eastern Mediterranean restaurant. The food is vibrant and well-seasoned.Service is friendly and knowledgeable, and the cocktails feature Middle Eastern spices.

The space is intimate and stylish but can get loud when crowded. Portions are on the smaller side and prices a bit high, but overall Moona delivers a warm, high-quality dining experience. Ideal for date nights or sharing plates with friends.

Moona is such a gem! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff make you feel right at home. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented! The mezze were amazing, and the spices were perfectly balanced. Especially their baklava, it had a beautiful floral scent that made it unforgettable. Portion sizes were just right, and everything tasted homemade with so much care. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends.

Great Mediterranean place for small bites and drinks. Awesome service and nice cozy ambiance. We ordered tahini on hummus, feta fritters, falafels. Cocktails were saved by the bell and oh snap as shown in pictures. Dessert was flavorful and good presentation

The food here was VERY good—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. My only gripe is the portion size compared to the price; it felt a bit steep for how small the servings were. That said, even if I may not come back, I can still say it’s definitely worth trying at least once if you’re in the area.

I was told they recently changed the menu, and unfortunately, the food options are now very few and quite mediocre.

Very good dishes, staff helped with gluten sensitivity. Lamb was great, but it was a lot $$$ to leave not that full.

The food was very good (for someone who doesn’t have allergies). My friends and I had a reservation for a month in advance and made it very clear that she has a sesame and tree nut allergy. The waiter told us what exactly was safe for her to eat. He recommended a few tapas that we proceeded to order. Right when my friend took a bite, she began to have an allergic reaction. It’s hard to place the blame on just one individual, but the manger ended up leaving as soon as he realized what was happening, along with the waiter saying “are you dying?” Wanted to love this place, but probably won’t be coming back.

Tucked away in a quaint and eclectic setting, this spot truly delivers when it comes to food. We sat outdoors, which added to the charm, and went as a group—perfect for sharing. We ordered the mushroom hummus, lamb awarma, labneh, falafel , and branzino, and every single dish was packed with flavor and beautifully balanced. The food was a definite standout and had us all raving.

The only miss of the evening was dessert. We tried the pistachio-based one, and while it sounded promising, the ice cream had a slightly artificial aftertaste, and the genoise cake was on the dry side. May be we ordered the wrong dessert from the selection.

That said, we’ll absolutely be back—for the food, the drinks, and that cozy, eclectic vibes.

Excellent meze options and very creative cocktails. The honey glazed carrots were exceptional and the dips delicious
