“Ajja has been on my list for awhile now and I am happy to have gone last night. I have read countless reviews and I will agree- it is very good. But, it was not knock-your-socks-off amazing. I enjoyed the meal but I must say, the dessert stole the show. Flies did kinda take away from the ambience - but I get it, it’s summer in Raleigh and we ate on the coveted patio. I’ll go through what we ordered:

- htipiti: the whipped feta that reminded me of pimento cheese. Really enjoyed but it was a very small serving for $11 (9/10)

- assorted pickles: good I am a pickle lover and just wanted to try them (7/10)

- spinach and cheese sfiha: (not pictured) tasty but not as cheesy as the title suggests. I thought it was very acidic and I don’t know if I loved the addition of pickled mushrooms (again I love pickles it was just a bit much, didn’t feel like those flavors meld together) (6/10)

- coffee roasted carrots: tasty but nothing spectacular. I wanted more flavor on these. (6/10)

- charred cabbage & broccoli: this one was extremely unique. Again very acidic but I reallly enjoyed the flavors. The porcini tehina balanced out the acid but there wasn’t enough of it imo, the mushroom 'nuoc cham' was really what elevated this dish! It had an Asian infused flavor that was enjoyable. This dish would have been addictive if the acidity was toned down a hair (7/10)

- lamb seekh: saw this on many reviews. Very tender but did get some questionably chewy bits. The flavor was very good though. The accoutrements however: labneh, sweet pea chermoula, pistachio - I could have eaten by the spoonful (7/10)

- blueberry posset: now this, I could bathe in. The brown butter tahini chantilly- I didn’t know how bad I needed this in my life. It was addictive. Paired so well with the blueberry, the tahini oat crumble & kataifi crunch was the perfect touch to give it some bite. (10/10 absolutely no notes) I would go just for this. Perfectly salty & sweet.

Again, I came for my birthday and it was nice. The meal was good. The dessert was great. Overall, I just wish everything was a little less acidic! Some things were almost hard to have more than a few bites of. I’m curious if anyone else has these thoughts. Next time I would get the tagine. I wish they had 1 more salad-esque dish from the market menu.. The service was awesome though! And vibes were great. There were a lot of flies though (like at one point there was probably 7-9 flies on our food…)“

The beef kabobs are a favorite though I prefer lamb. I would definitely return and I will wait for the new menu - hopefully there will be more diversity on the small plates ( fish option).“

“Wonderful experience for our anniversary dinner at Rosewater! The restaurant has great energy, beautiful aesthetic and the food was phenomenal. My only complaint was the noise level - we could hardly hear each other across the table. I was hoping for an intimate dinner in this beautiful space, but the acoustics are such that the sounds of voices, utensils clanking, etc. just bounce around the room. When it's busy - and their dining room is usually busy - you have to talk louder to be heard, which compounds the problem. Otherwise, our service was fantastic!“

“I came to this restaurant on a whim. Was visiting Raleigh and every fast food seemed to be wrapped around the building around 11pm, decided to try GY and I was pleasantly satisfied. The food was pretty good and I don’t think it’s overpriced. I tried the veggie pita but added chicken to it because I wanted more of a chicken souvlaki and it was pretty good. Fries were pretty tasty and it was a really chill atmosphere. I don’t see why more people aren’t coming to GY— they’re open til 4am which is insane! Definitely will be back.“
