The food here is AMAZING. Fragrant, delicious, and carefully crafted. The restaurant is cozy and clean and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you're considering this place, you really owe it to yourself to just go. It is very unassuming from the outside but the moment you step in you'll be glad you did.

Gave us the wrong order (albeit it was also absolutely freaking amazing) and corrected it right away no questions asked. If you like lamb you'll love this place! 10/10 would food coma again

Had our first experience with this place last night. We live near it and figured we would try it for take out. Was phenomenal. My husband got the lamb shanks and they were perfect. I got a chicken dish that was fantastic as well. Will definitely order again and it is a great addition to the neighborhood.
